Description

Describe the enhancement you'd like Add a new button in user settings page that would go through the already scanned images and videos and re-extract datetime for them.

Describe why this will benefit the LibrePhotos Since we are making datetime extraction configurable it makes sense for people to want to apply new rules for datetime extraction after they changed these rules.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the existing datetime extraction logic and the user settings page. Add a new button that triggers a task to re extract datetime for all media items, respecting the user's current datetime extraction rules.
