Date Created, Date Modified format

Hello.
I have set several database fields as Autogenerated with Date Created or Date Modified option in Designer 9i. TAPI generated populate the field with time value missing - only the date (e.g. '06.06.2002'). I want the field to contain time as well (e.g. '06.06.2002 11:23:34'). What Designer option to find? Thanks.

This is a preference setting, and the default is to use date only - no time value. To change the preference in the Design Editor, do this.
Select Options from the menu at the top of the screen.
Select Generator Options from the dropdown menu.
Select General... from the next level menu.
On the General Generator Options there is a checkbox labeled: Record Time On Change History Columns.
Check this box, press the OK button, and re-generate the TAPI. You'll see the TRUNC(SYSDATE) in the generated code for maintaining your Date Created and Date Modified columns has changed to just SYSDATE.
Unfortunately, this changes it for any application you generate - that is fine with me, but your requirements may vary.

Why doesn't Lightroom organise videos/photos lacking "date taken" by "date modified" instead of "date created"?

This still seems to be a problem with Lightroom 5. This post is one of the top results after trying to Google this problem, and it's for LR3. I can't understand why something so fundamental to video (and some photo) organisation has been overlooked for so long.
I've been trying to import and organise all my old photos and videos by date with LR5. They've been backed up and copied many times over the years, most recently to an external drive last week. So every file has a "date created" of last week. But "date modified" remains the original recorded date.
This doesn't matter for photos with a proper EXIF "date taken" - but LR5 looks at the "date created" for videos, making it completely useless for organising them into date-based folders. It puts videos I recorded in 2010 (as per "date modified") into a 2014-12 folder. Why.
It's not just a video problem - some photos I took with devices that didn't record EXIF "date taken" are also filed into folders from this month, even though the "date modified" on them is correct as being from 5 years ago.
How can I rely on LR5 for importing and date-based organisation when it relies on files (lacking "date taken") having never been copied or backed up?

Hello,
I use exiftool to modify the Creation and Modification time of the files. After that I use LR "Ajust time" feature to set the time of the movies in LR to the file creation time (last point). This works fine for me.
For MOV (Quicktime):
exiftool "-FileModifyDate<TrackCreateDate" "-FileCreateDate<TrackCreateDate"
For AVI:
exiftool "-FileModifyDate<DateTimeOriginal" "-FileCreateDate<DateTimeOriginal" *.avi
Depnding on your camera (and container format mov, avi) you may also ajust the time zone, e.g.
exiftool -FileModifyDate+=1 -FileCreateDate+=1 -if "$CameraModelName =~ /EOS 600D/i" *.mov
Which time in the container (MOV, AVI) you use as source, depends on your workflow. I edit my mov files before import. Therfore "CreateDate" is the time when I edited the file. Quicktime and (some) avi file contain a time when the containing stream was created. I use this vaule as source.
exiftool <filename> gives you detailed information about all available times.

Finder Date Modified, Created, etc. Wording - in German

I am observing the following problem in Lion Finder:
- wording denoting "Relative dates" is in German now instead of English, for example "Heute" instead of "Today", "Gestern" instead of "Yesterday". etc.
- the "Language" tab in "Language & Text" is set in the same order as before:
English
German
- the "Format" tab in "Language & Text" is set as before to "Switzerland (German)"
Is it a bug or strange feature?

Whew, that's a relief!
But as for your workaround solution: All it will achieve is altering the created and modified dates to RIGHT NOW. What I'm looking to do is to alter the modification/creation dates to some point in the past.
I'm not doing this for any nefarious reason. I just like to organize my work files chronologically according to when each project was initiated, but sometimes I forget to gather the disparate documents all into one folder right at the beginning, and as a result, sometimes after I finish a job, I will create a new folder to permanently house all the files in an old project, and when that folder is places in a bigger "completed projects" folder and then is organized by "Date created" or "Date modified" in list view, it is out-of-order chronologically because the creation and modification dates of that particular project folder reflect when the folder was created (i.e. today), and not when the files inside the folder were created (i.e. weeks or months ago).
The simplest solution would simply to be able to back-date the folder's creation or modification date to match the date that the project actually started!

I have made a burn folder with photos exported from I-photo. It now shows in information, that the date is created and modified is different from the original digitized date. How can I get the original date to show in the info from Finder?

The Finder reports File information. The date and time of the photo are in the Photo's Exif metadata. The Finder has no awareness of this. All photos apps on any system do.

Is there a way to manually custom-edit the "Date created" and "Date modified" attributes of files in Mac OS 10.6?

In "List View" in a Finder window, among the many column options are "Date created" and "Date modified." In "View Options" (command-J) for any folder, one can add these columns, along with the standard ones "Size," "Kind," "Label," etc.
A user can alter a file's name, and a file's "label" (i.e. its color). On the other hand, a user can NOT arbitrarily edit/alter a file's official "size" -- other than by physically altering the contents of the file itself, obviously.
But what about a file's "Date created" and "Date modified"? Can either of those be manually edited/changed, just as a file's name can be changed -- or is a file's creation-date an immutable attribute beyond the editorial reach of the user, just as a file's "size" is?
And yes, a person can "alter" a file's "Date modified" by simply modifying the file, which would change its "Date modified" to be the moment it was last altered (i.e. right now). But (and here's the key question) can a user somehow get inside a file's defining attributes and arbitrarily change a file's modification date to be at any desired point in the past that's AFTER its creation date and BEFORE the present moment? Or will so doing cause the operating system to blow a gasket?
If it is possible to arbitrarily manually alter a file's creation date or modification date, how would it be done (in 10.6)? And if it is NOT possible, then why not?

Date Modified & Date Created- All the same date

I have somehow caused all my "Date Modified and Date Created" to have the same date (Month-Day-Year & Time) for all the folders and every piece of work I have in them. How do I get all my files to read their original date created/ modified and saved back again. It's important for the work I do.
Thank you

I, too, have "date" problems on my MacBook (with operating system Mac OS X). We just got the computer this month and had the Genius Bar download much of our files from our old Dell computer. The problem is that every date is incorrect, from the Created date to the Modified Date. For instance, here are some interesting dates: "Created 2/6/40" or "Modified 1/18/38." Now, the computer SHOULD know that these dates are well into the future. I checked out Preferences, and the date setting is correct. But somehow the Mac system screwed up all the Created and Modified dates on ALL the files it copied from our Dell, and even the current dates (such as the Modified date noted above) have years into the future. If you cannot set the dates correctly in Preferences, where in heck CAN you set them--and why is the Mac making up such odd dates?? Thanks!

Date modified/Date Created/Date Added(timestamp) - not showing the actual date?

In finder, none of the date info seems to be accurate.
By example, I just downloaded a new app from a website (onyx in this case), todays date is Nov 13th and when I install the new app (i.e. drag and drop into Apps folders) in finder the Date modified says Nov. 1st, Date created says October 31. Should one of these columns not reflect the true date that the app actually got onto my mac? I understand that one of these clumns probably relfects the info contained within the downloaded app, but surely one column can tell me that I installed this app on November 13! The "Last opened" columns is the only "accurate" date column I have. (as I write this however, i've noticed that the 'Date Added column does say "Today").
I gues my question is what columne reflect what the file itself has imbedded in it, and what relfects the actions i've done (I.e. installed the app on Nov 13)
Any help would be very much appreciated. Note sure if this is somehting more worrisome or not, but i've had it for a while with no major issues other than frsutration of not understanding this. i'm on 10.7.2

The Date Modified column for the Applications folder itself will reflect the actual installation date. The others aren't supposed to.

'Date Created' changes to 'Date Modified'

When I modify pics using Picasa and then export them to a new folder, 'Date Created' changes to be the same as 'Date Modified'. Is this a bug? When I look at the exported pic info in Picasa, the Date Created is still correct, but when I view the same pic in Finder, the Date Created is now the same as Date Modified. But when I look at the original pic before Picasa copied it into the new directory, it has the correct Date Created. Is it possible that Picasa somehow screwed up the file info when it exported?

Update to this. I found this info in forum:
"A digital image file has two 'creation' dates, the date the image was captured by the digital device (cameras, scanner, etc) and the date the image file was created on the HD."
The problem seems to be that when I don't modify an image in Picasa, the date captured remains the date created as far as finder is concerned. However, when the image is modified (eg shadow increased), 'date captured' becomes 'date created to HD'.
So apart from this being nuts, how can I get Finder, and therefore AppleTV, to sort and play by original image capture date created?
This might also be an AppleTV question.

"Date Created" or "Date Modified" field for Contacts?

Is there any way to view -- or sort by -- a "Date Created" or "Date Modified" field in Contacts?
Or, at the very least, view a single records Date Created/Modified?
In particular, when exporting the BB's Contacts to an ASCII, I'd love that field to appear.
Thanks,

When I open a search window (command "F") and then press Command "J" or go to "Show View Options" under the "View Menu" it just brings up a window that says: "There are no view options for the "Searching This Mac" window"
I am using OS 10.5.8 on a 1st Generation MacBook Pro. I have successfully changed view options in other folder windows, but can't in the search window. I have just started trying an Application called "Find Any File" (http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/) and it looks like it may provide what I want but is MUCH SLOWER than spotlight.

Need to create a workflow after Date Modified is greater than 7 days

I'm using SharePoint Deisnger 2010 and attempting to create a workflow to generate an email after the Date Modified is greater than 7 days. Checking to see if there is a way to create this workflow without creating a "calculated" field with a date.
Have:
If Current Item:Modified is greater than Today
But would like to have 7 days not today or a set date.
What's the best way to do this?

Created and modified dates all the same

Clock is displaying the correct time but for all types of files the created and modified dates are all displaying the one date. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your input. I want to keep the files with a 1 or ~1 as it happens and delete the rest. I have written some scripts. I think I could write a script to delete all files with a 1, but of course that is not what I want. I guess
I need a script to delete all files except if they contain a 1. I haven't used a forum since way back in the PC mag days.
Whoops..........I just realized exactly what you were telling me and used your suggestion. I guess I was trying to do more work than I needed. I searched for all files with a 1 in the folder and then moved them to a different folder. Then
I deleted the rest. Job done. Thanks for the help.

Droplets have wrong date created and modified info

When I create a droplet in compressor 3, the created date is 6/22/07 and the modified date is 6/19/2008. Not a disaster, just wondering if anyone else is seeing this and if it's a symptom of some problem lurking in the wings.

If your operating system is Unix then it will store the file with date modified.
And your file adapter will take Modified date only.
Thanks

How to keep Date created and Date modified when converting nef to dng

Hi
I noticed that when we convert NEF files to DNG in it properties the Date Created and Date Modifed are changed to the present date and not the original dates of the files in question. Is there any way to make such a conversion without changing these proeprties? Yes, I know 'Date taken' does not change--but this info does not show up when you hover a file only the info in its properties does hence me asking the question.
Also am I correct in assuming that this conversion is 100% lossless, nothing but nothing is lost in the qualtiy and info of the file (besides the file size)? Thank you
OS: Windows 7 (64)

A DNG from an NEF is a new file so it’s Windows dates are as of its creation on Windows. The date modified would further change if you updated the DNG with a new preview and/or embedded metadata into it.
If you need the files to have the camera’s creation date, then use Windows Explorer to copy them, don’t convert to DNG, and just Add them to your LR catalog, and tell LR not to add a timezone or otherwise adjust the timestamps which might also update the file modification time.

Specifying date time format in Finder

How can I specify the date-time format in Finder for the "date-modified" and "date-created" columns in list view?
About three years ago, I got a command line instruction to set these formats and I kept it at mm/dd/yy
Then a couple days ago, I changed the date format in iStat menus and the date-time formats started acting weird. I want the dates to be like "07/08/05" (mm/dd/yy) and then the formats started changing to "November 07, 2008" (month/dd/yyyy). This change seemed to take effect any time I open the view options for a folder. Now I discovered that the date format change depending on the column width according to the format specified in system preferences, international, formats.
Narrow column, short date format; a little wider to long format, with ellipses if the column is not wide enough; then full format.
Does anyone know the command line to set the format to keep it to the one I want?

this doesn't seem to be it. however I now like the way Finder does display dates -- format gets more compact as the width of the column decreases; although there still is some excess space left on the left -- perhaps for AM & PM which I don't use; I use a 24 hour time format instead.
Happy New Year

Apex 4.2: Date picker & format mask number

Hello
In Apex 4.2, in a Date Item, how can I modify the date picker to set Monday as the start of week day? I can set Monday as the start of week day on a calendar, but not in a Date Item.
In a Number Item, there's no format mask to set the comma char as a decimal separator and the dot char as a thousand separator. How can I create a new format mask number?
Thank you.
Edited by: user7034195 on 12-mar-2013 3:24

for the Date Item, you can check this link, you have to call the process on the page load
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1313317/set-start-day-of-the-week-in-jquery-ui-datepicker
and for the Number format, there's a little trick involved, will try to explain
First of all convert you items from Number field to simple Textfield.
1. Write this in your items Post Calculation Computation: TO_CHAR (:item_name, '999G999G999G999G990D00', 'NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS = '',.''')This will do the number formatting you want, but in oracle above format is not acceptable, so while submitting the above values to database we need to undo the changes for that you can use the below code.
2. Create a Computation "After Submit" for every item you did the above formatting and copy this code in it: replace(replace('1.00.00,00','.',''),',','.') for the 2nd step you can create a package/function which will get the items value as string and do the conversion as number using above code and return back the number.
This should help you.

Tauceef
