SergeS Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Hello everybody, I have tagged some photos with un-checked option "Preserve file modified date when updating metadata". I would like to fix it. Are there any way how to change file timestamp back to match timestamp from Picture Properties -> Creation Datetime? Is this Daminion task or I have to use third-party software? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uwe Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Hello SergeS, this is a function of the Windows File System. From my point of view you can't change it by Daminion. But there are other utilities to do it. E.g. I use Total Commander to manage files and folders. There is a function to adjust the attibutes of a file. You can also use the Windows File Explorer to adjust the dates of a selected file: right click->Properties->Details The ExifTool can also do it. See here too: http://perlmaven.com/image-exiftool-how-to-change-file-creation-date Regards, Uwe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is not a daminion task (which seems reasonable) I will try to find the other software, or make my own script. And thank you for the link. upd: jhead and command line jhead.exe -ft *.jpg made all job, thanks to everybody and google :-). Under windows, no installation needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try "Bulk File Changer" (free) here: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/bulk_file_changer.html Backup original files Go to File > Add files Select (highlight) files in the main window Go to Actions > Change Time/Attributes Play with the settings: HTH -- M.L.
