New CLI Tool Fixes Burst Photo Order in Google Photos
A developer built 'lapse', a Rust CLI tool that rewrites EXIF timestamps on burst-shot JPEGs so Google Photos displays them in shooting order. It patches timestamps in-place without decoding the image, preserving all other metadata. The tool is available for Linux, macOS, and Windows.

A niche but clever fix for a long-standing annoyance, though most users will stick with Google's own sorting or alternative galleries.
