How to add EXIF date from file-date
I have a huge amount JPG photos WITHOUT EXIF date indo.
But it seens like the PS3 only uses EXIF date for sorting. Så all images without EXIF date ends up in the current year and month (like "FEB 2008" or "2008") when sorting. I have the original date in the files "date modified", but need a program then can create the EXIF date info from the file-date. But I can only find the opposite :-( Anyone know how to copy the file-date to the EXIF date for several 1000 JPG files in an easy way? Please? -- Lars-Erik - http://www.osterud.name - ICQ 7297605 |

I find that almost universally, it's the non-Windows users who are intelligent enough to provide OS information. Your typical Windows (l)user doesn't understand that not all computers run on Windows. Thus it's safe to assume that we're dealing with some version of Windows here. |

Rephrased: Non-windows users are more aware of what they are dealing with and tend to provide relevant information when asking questions here. Most Windows users, however, take it for guaranteed that everyone else is using Windows too. They are as likely to be completely ignorant of any other kinds of OSes as well. |

I recently responded to a post where the OP was looking for image cataloging software. After I responded with my windows centric answer, the OP replied that he was a Mac user. This is something *people* just assume but forget to include it in the question. -- Len |

Typically, Windows users assume that everyone IS using Windows, probably because 95% of computer users ARE using Windows. It is a reasonable, if not always correct, assumption, if the OS in use is not stated. Hardly an insult, in any case. |

Would you know if this tool works in a batch mode in Windows? In Linux, I can type up bash commands in a few minutes to do this job automatically for any number of files. But if the tool doesn't work in batch mode in Windows, the user is going to take ages to do this one by one for his thousands of pictures! -HS |
