Trouble with Dates

Just downloaded and installed the latest beta of folderblog but I am having trouble with setting dates for the photos. Despite entering in an alternative date in the /post/ interface, it will only display the mod date on the photo. I have sought some documentation on this an dbrowsed through the forum but I can't seem to find anything. Thumbnails and txts were successfully created and my permissions are all set correctly, so that doesn't appear to be the issue. I don't know if this is an issue with the beta or if I am doing something wrong. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Not sure exactly what this problem may be — are you using fotobuzz? Do the photos reorder correctly after you change the date?

I don't have Photobuzz. I tried installing Folderblog again with as little as possible modifications, and still I cannot change the dates.

I don't have Photobuzz installed either - I have made no modifications to the default installation.

Not sure what this bug is, but the best workaround would be to just sort by name for the time being. I'll look into this, but my hunch is that it's just a server compatibility issue (your server isn't letting you modify the file timestamp).

This is also happening for me.

Guys, a possible workaround for this might be the function I wrote to sort files by EXIF dates. Look at the thread I posted before...
