Lightroom 6 does not export EXIF in a way that tookapic can read it.
I've upgraded to Adobe Lightroom 6 and since the upgrade, something happened to the EXIF data, causing tookapic to not be able to use the date. Tookapic displays an error that it can't determine the date on which the image was taken.
To fix it I use a small shell script that fixes the dates:
#!/bin/sh
exiftool -AllDates="$(exiftool ${1} | grep 'Create Date' | awk '{print $(NF-1), $NF }')" -overwrite_original ${1}
You'll need exiftool installed for it, on Mac OS X, I used "brew install exiftool". Brew has to be installed separately.
Hope that tookapic changes it's method to determine the date, but meanwhile I can continue with this small workaround.
Paweł Kadysz Re-saving the exported JPG in Photoshop for example also helps.
Andrew E Weber Is there any update on whether the new version works for here yet?
Paweł Kadysz It doesn't. It's Lightroom's fault it doesn't generate EXIF in a standard way. It simply screws it up. It happened before with LR4, I think. They fixed it in one of the updates. Hopefully, they'll fix it this time as well.
We have a major update waiting to be released with a lot of new features. We're now waiting for lawyers and accountants to get all of this approved. We'll be releasing the update in the first half of May. But there will be no "Lightroom fix" in the update, just a specific error and a link to workaround instructions.

Paweł Kadysz Thanks for pointing that out. I'm upgrading to LR6 right now, to see how we can fix this. We'll be working on the update.
