Possibility to take picture order in sequence from filename not from exif date created field

[masterofnoroad]

Unfortunately GoPro 8 black (and later model also as far I know) has a bug in writing correctly timestamp into EXIF. So when using photo timelapse mode to capture mapillary sequence it results in spider web connections like here:

It would be easy to workaround the gopro bug to upload photos sorted by filename which always is correct, or use GPS timestamp and not EXIF Date Created.

This is GoPro’s upstream issue; this should be fixed by GoPro first. Generally speaking, “re‑timestamping” image files from file names or filesystem timestamps is a bad idea.

In the meantime, one workaround for you could be to make sure you drop the DateTime Exif tag (or other offending tag) from all of your images. Since, as you are saying, the GPSDateStamp and GPSTimeStamp Exif tags are present (and correct) then the backend is going to process your images just fine.

@ptpt An option to select the timestamp source based on which one would also be able to update/fix all the other timestamp sources in the image files might indeed be useful. Probably better yet, it may suffice to just create the Mapillary JSON payload in ImageDescription based on the option specified timestamp source and leave everything else untouched.
