Win 10 madness (a bit OT)

But the files are now showing in Explorer with today's date, and timestamped now, rather than when they were created. Am I going mad? I think Explorer shows "Date Modified" by default. Right click on the column headers and you can choose which columns to show. Nice theory. Indeed it does, I had not particularly noticed that before. Unfortunately, Date Modified, Date Created (and also Date last saved) all show the same, i.e. Date dragged and dropped, not the date of the photo. that's because windows bizarrely changes some file dates to when a file was copied, not when it was actually modified. Picasa is showing the "right" date and time as camera/file/digitised/modified date. Presumably from the EXIF. yep, as any other photo asset manager would. If you copy a file, the modified date/time stamp should be preserved whilst the copy should be stamped with the current creation date/time. If you move a file, both date/time stamps should be preserved. That was a guaranteed behaviour with win2k (and, afair, winXP). In my limited experience with Linux FMs, that, sadly, is not the case. :-( If this is change of behaviour that has only arisen in win10 just a few weeks ago, it would appear to be the result of a broken/buggy update. Since I have no interest in Microsoft OSes beyond winXP, I can't offer any more help than these observations. -- Johnny B Good |

Presumably you can read them along the top edge when he prints the picture. His comment, which was expunged from his response when I called him on it, clearly meant that the EXIF data was the most important part of an image. My sarcasm was lost on him. — PeterN |

I get the date taken as last modified date when I copy from SD card. I guess I never noticed before. I got curious and searched around to see if there might be some fluke, like maybe treating files over wifi as downloads. But I didn't turn anything up. So I guess your theory of a recent update makes the most sense. Thanks for your efforts. I'd wondered if I had done something daft, like having caps lock on while dragging and dropping, if there was a windows option to "Touch" files that way. |
