Update timestamp failing

Dmorehead1988
Hi everyone. I have been working on scanning thousands of family photo. Digikam has been an awesome tool for organizing the photos and the key for the project. To make the photos accessable to my family, I have been uploading them to Google Photos. Google used the modified date to order the photos. This includes photos from 1905 to present that have successfully uploaded to Google.

A couple weeks ago I started receiving a timestamp update error on Digikam when trying to update the photo dates. First I thought it was a permission setting off but everything else updates correctly besides the timestamp. Then I thought it was the database, so I tried creating a new database with the same error on the new database. Then tried fresh install of Digikam without any luck. This weekend, I restored my PC back to factory thinking something with the OS could have corrupted but it still has the same issue.

I've spend the last couple days trying to troubleshoot and discovered that it work correct when trying to update any time after 1970. Dates prior to 1970 cause the tool to fail. Any suggestions on what could be causing this or how to fix it? It previously worked perfectly fine to edit over 1000 photo's modified and created dates prior to 1970.

Thanks for any help,
David
