Can you add a dedicated section to manipulating templates? Whenever I save a template I just created, even though I have only one box checkmarked, nearly all file attributes are saved. So that overwrites the modification time, permissions, etc to all files that I apply an album name formula to. It would also be nice to have the ability to quickly select from templates or custom formulas that we apply to only one file. Maybe I haven't figured it out, but it seems that either have to modify one file or all files that are currently in the list. It would be great to select these.
I'm meaning, that it would be nice to be able to create a template and select fields I want to add a formula to from scratch. Not having to modify a preset or create one from the currently selected fields.
Thanks, awesome app. Best I've found in the App Store
(This is on ios by the way)

Response from developer
Thank you so much for the kind words and constructive feedback! You've highlighted two great points that we are addressing immediately in our upcoming update: Preset & Template Field Isolation: When saving a template, it will now strictly save only the specific fields you explicitly checkmark, preventing any unintended attribute overwrites (like file modification dates or permissions) on other files. Dedicated Template Studio (Build from Scratch): We are introducing a standalone Template Builder where you can create presets from scratch, add/remove any metadata field across Audio, EXIF, PDF, and Attributes, and configure formulas without needing to load or modify an existing file first. Targeted Multi-File Selection & Single File Quick Apply: You will be able to select specific subsets of files via checkboxes on iOS to batch process, as well as apply any template or formula directly to a single file with one tap. Thank you for helping make FilePropertyEdit even better. Stay tuned for this update!
Big Fail on batch
First off, I tried to go to the website for support but whatever you push on the website just redisplays the web page with no help. I have the $10 paid version, I tried a simple batch change of album name for 8 files. It said it was successful for 8 files yet it only changed one. This product does not work and there is no one to ask for help. Don’t use/buy. Have requested a refund. We’ll see if apple screws me also.

Sorry to hear that, we have updated our support url, you can submit support ticket there. Also, for batch edit multiple files, please use the batch edit button next to the save button, it will save the props to all files in the list, please let us know if anything else we can help, thanks!
Some features are not working
It could be a great app if batch date operations were functioning.
It did exactly what I needed
This is a simple but power batch metat data editor and it works perfectly. Just pay the $10!
Work Just Fine....
The other reviewers don't seem to be reading the discription. This app deserves a much better rating than given. It did exactly what I bought it for. And YES, you need internet when you use it unless you have paid for the app. Then it doesn't require internet any more.
Thanks for a great, easy and affordable product.

Says FREE but it wants $9.99 to save any changes. Bad form.

In-app purchases
Not listed as having in-app purchases, but it does have in-app purchases. And it doesn't do MP3 tag editing without a purchase.
Paid for image editor and it does NOT work
I hate that Apple see fit to allow such items, 3 years since an update and no checks to see if it is offering value to Apple users. Apple allow it to remain on sale when they DO NOT WORK! This is robbery so STOP allowing it to happen.
Hard to use, and not really a Mac app
Clearly built on some other stack, like Java or Electron or QT or something. Doesn't act like a Mac app at all; can't even drag a file to the dock icon to open it.
Can't edit multiple files at once, can't use a keyboard shortcut (like ⌘O) to open/edit a file... just unintuitive and clunky all over.

Finally!
So simple & helpful: One file "infects" others with its date & time! I was looking for such an app for many years, but couldn't find one on the Mac App Store.
Free version doesnʼt work for me
Iʼm looking for a simple utility to change the title of a mp4 file. This isnʼt it, and Iʼm not willing to spend $9.99 for a version that works. Iʼd be better off learning how to do it in Terminal. At least then Iʼd have reliability.
Sadly...
It does'nt work.
ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS!!!!!
Even though I paid the $9.99 for media properties, this app doesn't even show them for the audio files I've selected, let alone offer the ability to edit them! This is a total rip off! How is this even allowed in the App Store???
Disappointing
I was trying to change TIFF/Orientation attribute of images, every time I set the value and Apply changes, it hides the UI element for that attribute, and the file doesn't seem to have it written. Clunky and buggy?
My Saviour
Wow .. What an App!!! I had recorded some videos on a GoPro camera equivalent for about a week. Little did I realise that every time a changed the battery, the camera date and time stamp would be reset to 01.01.2018.
When I downloaded the one week of recording clips to my iMovie , all the clips got jumbled up.
Though I manually sorted them n finder, however I struggled a lot to arrange them in chronological order. File renaming in series did not help either. This app turned out to be my saviour and I could easily adjust the date and time using series adjust feature.
Thanks .. You saved my day.

Hard to use, but helpful.
I’m a professional photographer and I messed up by setting both of my cameras to the same time in terms of numbers, but one was AM and the other was PM. This meant the entire day was out of order. Thankfully after some quick tinkering in this app it was as if the problem never happened. Only reason it’s 4 instead of 5 stars is that the UI is really difficult to use.

When you need it, it’s wonderful
This app can be a lifesaver. If you need to edit file properties on one or a bunch of files this app will do exactly that. The user interface does a few things in non apple standard way so I give it 4* not 5. Here is an example of my need. Somehow mac OS managed to change the creation date on several hundred files in a project and them equal to modification date. That made sorting files ugly for me. But the EXIF data and the GPS data were not corrupted. I could set the creation dates on all the files to be the EXIF Digitized Date (the REAL creation date) as a fast batch job. WHEW! What a lifesaver!
I found several other uses. If you still remember your Unix command lines, and love scripting, you can get by without this tool. Maybe. If you are a mere mortal this app might be a Godsend. You might have to actually read the manual and still play around a bit. The hover descriptions are pretty good even if the icons are not always obvious.

Bugs
The concept is great in itself, where you get the abiltiy to change the file time for free. It helped when my family went on a trip and one of our devices’ timestamps were off by a number of timezones. The adjustments helped there. However, you have to toggle the file too often for the time editing to populate. If you drag a chunk of files, for some reason one file does not get updated when executing the changes. Patience it key; and, thankfully, I don’t have to do this often.

Works well until I did in app purchase
Downloaded to update some MP4 file attributes but once I purchased the facility via the in app purchase the app just crashes on opening. A shame as it had the potential to be a really good app.
Some bugs
The program spoils the quality of PNG image files, when I added properties, the image quality changed. Is any update comming soon?
