DNG Changes file date

I have a new Canon 70D and Lightroom 4 which does not support it.
I donwloaded the DNG converter to convert files so I could avoid the upgrade to lightroom 5.
When using hte DBG converter I find that a .CR2 file with a date of 12/31/2013 8:00AM gets changed to 1/4/2014 5:40PM
Bad program behaviour
AND
to top it off the current computer time is 1/5/2014 2:30pm
This seems very odd. Is there a work around?
Does Adboe care that this program is fatally flawed in this regard?
When using lightroom to convert CR2 to DNG this never happened.

  • NI unzip changes file date and time stamp

    A coworker this morning asked me about the NI-Unzip VI.
    It turns out that when the NI unzip VI unzips a file it changes the file dates to the date the file was unzipped.
    He also noted that NI-Unzip seems to be calling the Windows touch.exe to do this.
    The diagram for NI unzip is locked and password protected so his attemp to change this action blocked.
    Does anyone know a way around this? Either to make the NI Unzip stop changing the file date or the passwork to teh unzip vi?

    Hi,
    I don't think NI will give you a password for it's protected functions...
    So you can:
    - use "System Exec" with a command line version of a ZIP tool of your choice to unzip files
    - make your own "Unzip" VI with calls to a "unzip"-DLL of your choice
    Choose the one that is easier to implement for you

  • Batch change file date to match exif date

    Hi All-
    I recently got a mac pro. Upon importing my photos to iPhoto, the file date for each is set to the date of the import. When using the mac photo screensaver, the date that shows up for everything is the import date, rather than the date the photo was taken.
    Is there any way to batch change the pictures so that the file date matches the date the picture was taken?
    (Or, a way to have the screensaver use that date
    Thanks,
    -jamie

    Interesting, but here is what I found out. I was annoyed because when I sucked in about 1000 JPGs from my camera's memory stick, and then I copied them to my Windows boxen, the file dates were wrong. I was surprised that there isn't an easy way to do this... until your post!! Thanks. *APPLE, Please fix the way "Originals" are stored during iPhoto import*, since something is wrong here. The file dates stored on my memory stick should have been used not the moment I clicked import in iPhoto.
    So I moved my jhead to /usr/bin and gave it root ownership and 755 permissions.
    All of the pictures seem to be three deep here:
    cd ~/Pictures/iPhoto\ Library/Originals
    ls -lsGrt /*/.jpg
    But that is only a small fraction of mine. Most end in .JPG
    ls -lsGrt /*/.JPG
    So here is the commands to do the correction of the file date and time. You don't need the find command or that script, although you might need to snoop around and make sure all of your files are here and not any deeper or in some other location. but this should be harmless to run as long as you want to alter every file date.
    jhead -ft /*/.jpg
    jhead -ft /*/.JPG
    And that pretty much does it. I don't see any images elsewhere that were brought in by iPhoto 6 on my machine. I looked for MPG files but I don't have any. This is from a video recording camera, so I don't have any MPGs.
    So jrsmobile, my mileage varied a lot, since your method missed about 95% of my photos!!

  • Lightroom changes file date (build and changeing date) by jpg files

    Hallo
    I am using Lightroom on Mac OS X Snow Leopard. The Problem is that Lightroom changes both dates of the file (the date when the file was build and the date when you have made changings on the file) when i save the Metadates to the file.
    This happens only by jpg files. By raw / xmp files is the date of the raw file not changed, the both dates of the xmp are also changed like by jpg.
    I want not to change the time when the file was build. So that i can see in the Finder / Explorer when the file was build ( Photo taken).
    How can I solve this Problem.
    Thanks for Help

    Do not save the metadata to the files. It's quite unnecessary to do so, but of course, you should have full backups of the images and the catalog(s) [.lrcat].

  • Lightroom changes file date and time

    When I imported a large number of images to Lightroom, keeping the files in their original location, the dates and times of the files were updated. This is a bit of a pain because it means that about 4000 files will now be backed up again to the online backup service I use. Why does LR change the filedate when all it's doing is importing to the library?

    > Alexander wrote: I believe you have set the option to "Automatically write changes into XMP" and are working with non-raw files (jpeg, tiff or dng)? In this case it is the expected behaviour as LR will write any metadata changes right into the files, thus changing the modification date of the image files.
    Either uncheck the above mentioned preference setting or beg Adobe to bring us back xmp side car files for jpeg, tiff and dng.
    No, I'm not stalking you :)
    The following applies to Macintosh OS X, 10.4.8. I don't know if the same happens with Windows.
    I had a similar problem when editing some JPEG file from my Fuji F30. When I would Export the metadata the 'Modified' date of the file changed as expected. However, for certain files, the 'Created' date also changed. I opened a case with Adobe, sent them a description of the problem and some sample files. The Technical Support person reproduced the behavior and passed the information to Engineering.
    Yes, Adobe, give us XMP files for all files.

  • Changing file date name of screenshots

    i had to do a fresh install and now my screenshots are showing up out of order because the default setting is basically dumb as far as AM PM is concerned.
    can someone remind me if there was a non-applescript or non-terminal way to fix this?
    i seem to recall simply some setting somewhere or perhaps something as simple as a tinkertool setting...?
    thanks.s

    I think the lack of response confirms that if you are going to use Auto Create, you have to accept the way it is.

  • Pdf extension changes to .dat when send a file via e-mail from adobe acrobat 9

    to convert a file from microsoft word 2007 to PDF and send as an attachment via e-mail from adobe 9, the file is received with the extension changed to. dat, so recipients can not open it.
    Can anyone help me with this.

    What is the OS of the sending computer?
    What mail client?
    I receive plenty of files on my PC as .dat files, which come from Mac user(s), rename the extension to what I think they ought to be and have no further problem. (I cannot change the senders email settings where the problem originates)
    If the receiver knows it is a pdf file, they can drag it into Acrobat, but renaming the extension serves future use.

  • Why does placing links in Illustrator now change the "Date Modified" data for all of my files?

    This seems to be a new glitch that started after I installed the latest updates to Illustrator CC (2014) and reoccurs every time on both computers I work on:
    When I choose to place a new image in my Illustrator file and the window opens to let me choose a file to place, the "Date Modified" field of all the files in the folder I'm viewing (except other Illustrator files) quickly changes to the current date and time. This is definitely happening when I'm in Illustrator because when I needed files from a folder that had hundreds of images in it and I was able to select a file quickly, I was able to do so before it had changed the date on all of my files. However, when I needed a file from a folder that had hundreds of images in it but I took a long time to find the image I needed, Illustrator had time to change the date modified on all of my files. This might seem like an unimportant issue because it doesn't actually seem to modify or damage any of my files, but having all of the dates change on my files is a serious problem for my workflow and file management issues. So far, my only work around has been to use back-up image files, but that's not a long term solution and I don't understand why Illustrator should be modifying the dates of my files.
    Is there a setting I can choose somewhere to prevent this problem? If not, is there somewhere I can report this kind of glitch? I'm not sure if I'm using the exact language necessary to get the issue across so please let me know if you have any questions! Thanks!

    iCloud is not compatible with Snow Leopard, that is your problem.
    A quick way out is to purchase Soho Organizer which is compatible, even when running on Snow Leopard, it will correctly handle Contacts and Calendars from iCloud. $100, 2 user license.

  • Detection Method of Date Modified fails due to copied files date modified change

    I've been working through an issue for some time now and I think it's a bug with SCCM 2012 SP1. I've built literally 50 deployments in "Application Management" in SCCM 2012, but I've been chasing my tail on a few of them throwing the
    "succeeded but couldn't detect" error. The few that have given me problems are all copying text files and then detect the modified date to verify that the file is there. All worked when I initially built them in Windows 8 but are now failing
    randomly...even on a machine where they previously worked and I deleted the files to test the deployment again. 
    What I'm doing:
    My java deployment requires policies which we control with the Deployment.config, deployment.properties and java.policy files. A simple script creates the directories and copies the files. I then create a deployment type for this "ConfigFileCopy.cmd"
    and create a detection rule for each file that I am moving over. The detection rule looks for a "date modified" date between the beginning and end of the date for the day I modified the file. This allows me to modify the files to change our
    java policies and then redeploy them with the "new" modified date as the detection rule, which forces the update.
    The problem:
    When I first created my deployment, everything worked pretty well. The files copy out and the script runs successfully. There were some minor tweaks I need to make to my scripts, so I did and then updated the content for the deployment type. I believe this
    is where things go a little wonky. At this point, my deployment starts failing with the "0x87D00324" error.
    Looking through the logs, everything looks good. The reason configuration manager is failing on detecting the modified date for those files, as it turns out, is because the modified dates don't meet the criteria. So that part is properly failing the detection.
    The problem is that the modified dates are correct on the server but not the client. Looking in c:\windows\ccmcache, I can see multiple folders....presumably one for each version of the application that I updated. Looking at any of the newer content folders
    for this app, the modified dates are the date and time the file was copied out to the workstation, which is incorrect as the file hasn't been modified during that process.
    The odd part, is that this doesn't happen EVERY time on EVERY machine. My primary desktop is windows 8.1 and received the files correctly and installed without issue. My test win 8.1 laptop initially received them correctly, but then as I refined the scripts
    it began picking up the wrong modified dates and started failing.
    I found a similar issue to this existed in SCCM 2007 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2276865) so I suspect that this is truly just a bug that hasn't been addressed (or maybe is fixed in R2). Unfortunately
    we have business reasons we can't upgrade to R2 at this time so I'm hoping someone has experienced this and has some sort of work around that might get me by for now. If someone can confirm it is fixed in R2, that would help my case to upgrade as well.  
    I can work around the issue by changing my logic to detect any date greater than a specific date. But I shouldn't have to do that and I'm concerned there are scenarios I haven't thought of that will cause unexpected behavior or failures with that.
     

    This outlines the behavior. It's apparently by design. 
    "SCCM has a habit of changing the ‘Date Modified’ timestamp of all files it delivers when it detects an ‘upgrade’ of the source files for that application. It typically does not touch the timestamp
    of the source files if it delivers a brand new install to a client that has never received the software, however if a single file in the source folder is changed for that application, then SCCM tries to use a previous version of the application in the cache
    (C:\windows\ccmcache) and only downloads the new file that has change. This results in all files having their ‘Data Modified’ timestamp changing (except for the brand new file). Therefore determining if that application has delivered
    successfully using ‘Date Modified’ timestamps is not recommended. The key to seeing this process in action is looking at the file properties in the
    C:\windows\ccmcache\<sccm code> folder for that application, particularly before and after a file is updated in the original source SCCM application folder."

  • I am trying to change the date on an imported home video clip. I entered 9/7/2012 and got 6/9/0339! I checked modify original file, but it is not working. Any ideas?

    I am trying to change the date on an imported home video clip. I entered 9/7/2012 and got 6/9/0339! I checked modify original file, but it is not working. Any ideas?

    Are you using the Adjust Date and Time option or the Batch Change option?  If it's the former try the latter.  If you get the same results  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import  the same video file and check to see if the same problem persists.

  • Run Batch OCR Without Changing File Modification Date

    I'm running Acrobat X Pro (as part of CS6) and would like to batch OCR all of the PDFs on my PC (probably over 1,000 files) without changing the "modify" date of the files (otherwise they will all change to the date of the OCR, which will make it more difficult to find files when sorting by date because they'll all come up as the same date).  Is there a way to do this?
    If I've posted this in the wrong place, please tell me where to post it.
    Thanks!

    No. The modification date is a system function and requires access to the file info in the file directory to change, not something that programs normally do. There are programs that allow changing the dates, or used to be anyway. All I know to do is to create a text file with a directory of the PDF files, then go back and change the dates back to those dates. It has been a while since I have played with file dates, but it might be able to be automated (though probably with a fair amount of programming skill).

  • Does changing data in iTunes change File itself?

    Short version of the story is I want to restore my PC to factory settings with all the guff that's on it. As I have near 2500 songs on iTunes I assume I will have to add these back in from scratch to my "new pc"?
    Basically over the years I've updated my iTunes data to include any missing info like Album covers, Year, titles etc so its immaculate. Have these changes followed through to the MAIN file? All my songs are held on an external hard drive.
    Many thanks and hope the above is explained properly!

    *Fast backup for iTunes library (Windows Only)*
    Grab SyncToy 2.1, a free tool from MS. This can copy your entire iTunes library & any other media folders onto another hard drive or network share. You can then use SyncToy periodically to synchronise or echo your library to the backup. A preview will show which files need to be updated giving you a chance to spot unexpected changes and during the run only the changed files will be copied saving lots of time. And if your media is all organised within the iTunes Media folders then you can open the backup library on any system running the same version of iTunes.
    When the time comes to reformat your PC, do a final sync, then open iTunes & deauthorize the PC, reformat & rebuild Windows, copy the backup folders back to the same location as they were previously, install iTunes and it should all work perfectly.

  • Edit metadata without changing modified file date

    I'd like to use Bridge (CS4) to edit metadata in both JPEGs and RAW files, without changing the original file date/time stamp.
    Any way I can do this? Thanks.

    Thanks. I'm familiar with the file date utilities available (I've even written such a program myself), but it seems like an awkward solution.
    Since first posting this question, I discovered that I can keep my raw files untouched, by selecting Camera Raw Preferences > Save image settings > Sidecar .xmp files.
    I'd like to see a similar setting for JPEG images as well. Please?

  • Can I Change Photo/File Date In Photoshop Elements 2?

    Whenever I change the batteries in my digital camera I have to reset the time and date.
    Often I don't have time (or just forget) with the result that all the pictures have incorrect times and dates on them.
    This is NOT destroying my life but it is irritating and inconvenient.
    Is there a way of altering the "Date Created" without altering the photo by copying it etc. (which alters its file size)?
    For that matter is it possible to alter the "Date Created" on any computer file?
    I'm sure a hacker could delve deep into the heart of the Mac and do it but I am looking for something quick and simple.
    Ian.

    You can use PhotoInfo to change the dates on a single or batch of photos. You can even do it within iPhoto by selecting PhotoInfo as the editor to use when you double click on a photo. But iPhoto won't recognize the changes unless it's exported and reimported. You can use PhotoInfo to batch check/change your photos before importing into iPhoto.
    What I've done is to export the full sized images to a folder on the desktop, named the folder the same as the roll they were in, run Photoinfo on the batch and then drag the folder into the open iPhoto. Then delete the original roll. Works fine.
