[OSM-newbies] Not able to load pictures in Josm due to missing seconds stamp

[Dirk Vervoort]

Hi Jeffrey,

I tried a few EXIF editor and they all fail, with a message "can not parse...." or something like that.
So there must be a valid EXIF before an Exif editor works. 
The purpose of these editors are to change a valid time stamp.

Thanks,

Dikr

      Check that your GPX file has timestamps on each point as I think that may
      cause the error too.

      Some older cameras simply don't write the second info to the image header.
      As a result there isn't any easy way as far as I am aware to add seconds in
      later and in any case if you could how would you know what the seconds value
      should be for each photo.

      If you get the photos to lead with no seconds you will find them clumped in
      groups around the nearest minute in the GPX log (subject to whatever
      synchronization time offset you have set)

      Cheers

      Andy

    You could use something like one of the vi text editors,
    sed, or perl.

    If you just want to insert a colon and two zeros you could
    probably do that with sed or vi fairly easily.

    Check out cygwin to run unix style utilities on a windows computer.

  I was wrong.
  There probably is a way to do this with unix utilities,
  but it's probably more complex than I originally thought.

  However, I did do a search for "EXIF edit" and there seems to be
  software out there for editing these fields.
