Awesome! How can I see the metadata fields auto-generated by my camera. Any downside to truning on the "Writing metadata to photo files" feature? Curious why then it is not on by default and why we need a separate db file? Thanks for putting up with my noob questions and sharing your expertise.

There are metadata fields for the time the photo was taken, entirely separate from the last modified timestamp...

    Currently if the writing metadata to photo files option is ON then

    modification timestamp of the photo.
    It seems that photos needs to have the time they were taken preserved.

    Is there some way to preserve the original timestamp on the file
    in the metadata?

    If not, then would that not make the "Writing metadata to photo
    files" feature lose its value?

    What is the best practice that akllows preservin the time a photo
    was taken (as metadata) along with other metadata such as tags,
    location etc.?

    Thanks for your guidance.
