Is there a way to store the original date and time properties of photos that have been dragged and dropped into Laserfiche version 8.3?

Date and Time Properties of Photos

Are they photos from a camera that have EXIF information stored with them? If so, instead of dragging and dropping can you try using Photodocs? I believe it debuted in an early 8.x versionand will let you set DateTaken from the photo metadata.
Thanks - this does show the original date the photo was take in the properties but we are not able to import multiple photos in a batch - which is also a request of this area. This is for one of our departments that needs to store batches of photos from a scene and would like to be able to retain the original date and time of photo
.
Hello Heather,
If you are importing multiple photos, we can accomplish this is by performing batch scanning using Standard Mode Scanning or Quick Fields and use tokens to dynamically populate the original creation date and modification date as field values (see below). However, keep in mind that under document properties, the creation date will be the date when the files are brought into Laserfiche. Would that work in your case?
If you have any specific questions about tokens, please refer to the Standard Tokens section in the Quick Fields Help File.
I hope this helps!
