|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Mac OS date problem with files Jonathan Roberts, Photographer Louisville | KY | USA | Posted: 3:40 PM on 05.17.06 ->> When I copy images from a compact flash card, the "Date Created" time is Dec. 31, 1903, 7 p.m. for all files. The metadata/exif info, however, is correct. It's not a problem when the card only has one job on it. That is, all those files are copied to one folder. The problem with the bogus time stamp comes when trying to separate two or three events on one card in order to copy the correct files to separate folders. I'm using 10.3.9.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

The folder containing the images on the card and those copied to folders on the computer have the incorrect date and time (date created), Dec. 31, 1903 7 p.m. for all the files.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Cox, Photographer, Assistant Round Rock (Austin) | TX | US | Posted: 4:21 PM on 05.17.06 ->> There is also an option in Photo Mechanic under the Files tab, "Update creation time of photos with capture time during copy or ingest" that I use to take care of this problem.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

If you are not using PM 4.4 yet, you can fix these dates with a little program called PhotoInfo. Handles individual files or batches. It's free and can be found at versiontracker.com Quite handy.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh? (0) | Off Topic (0) | Inappropriate (0) |   Definitions Add your comments...
