@dave,
Ongoing problem when uploading photos to the plant database:

"Date or time of year photo was taken" field information does not always load, even though this information is definitely part of the metadata associated with the affected photos. Sometimes it does load automatically, so I know it can happen.

Often the date has to be added manually.

Some of mine do, some don't. I don't usually bother adding if it's blank.

I always add the date and will continue to do so manually if necessary, but I upload so many photos that it would be very nice if the date always loaded automatically.
