Description

I cannot see the date of the picture. It only says "2 years ago" which is not helpful at all.

I have thousands of photos, I'd like to sort them out by months. Also when I look for particular date I have to mouse-over every single file. It is not convenient.

Without that date I cannot use the nextcloud for searching something by date.
