[Feature Request:] Set date from file system timestamp

[simonsso]

When uploading ancient files from old forgotten backups where there are no time stamps in the metadata of the files. In those cases I would like to be able to force set the creation time from the timestamp of the files.

Currently immich thinks now is the correct creation time for such images.

The file timestamp can be inaccurate too. In my cases, it the date of the last backup, not the date of the take.

Currently immich thinks now is the correct creation time for such images.

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

When I uploaded some old images they all appeared on top of the list in immich, as if they were just taken with a camera today.

Even though the file stamp is incorrect, 2015 would be more correct than 2024 for those photos.
