"File Created" Date
Three dates are recorded and shown in Bridge.
Date Created
Date File Created
Date File Modified.
Now, apparently these dates, except for the Date Created, are meaningless. I have a file created 3-29-07 that shows Date file created as 12-29-07. Whut? I waited nine months to download it?
No, it actually indicates the date that the file was created on the particular drive! I went back to the original drive and the Date File Created is correct; about 2 or 3 days after shooting, which is Date Created.
Now, date modified is also wacky. I opened a file that has not been opened at all (no RAW Icon showing), ran some adjustments clicked done, and the date modified didn't change (in this case the same as Date Created). But if I save it instead as a tiff, then both the "Date File Saved and the date Modified changed.
This is confusing. If the file is opened in RAW, adjusted then clicked Done, something changed.
Also, if the file is moved or copied to another drive, the original date File Created should be consistent.
For legal evidence, there needs to be consistency, imo.
There was a long discussion on something similar a month or so back. Do a search and take a look at it. If you have more questions post back here.

Disk Utility 'Disk Image from Folder' looses file create date?
Hi,
I have been working on creating backups that maintain the files' create dates. I have found the following anomoly using Disk Utility.
If I create a Disk Image From Folder, the create dates of all files are changed to be the same as the last modify dates. Not what I want.
If I creat a Blank Disk Image, and then using Finder to copy the files to the Disk Image, the create dates remain unchanged.
I can then burn the backup CD's with the Disk Image and the files' create dates are maintained. So, future restore from the backup CD will contain the original files' create dates.
Does anyone know if Disk Utility's Create Disk Image from Folder is supposed to loose the files' create dates? What other file attributes are being lost? Mac OS X maintains all of these attributes, and create dates via Finder copies, I would expect the Disk Utility Create Disk Image from Folder to do the same.
Bob HortonTo follow up on this post, I know at least part of the answer. The difference between the two becomes clearer if you read the documentation (man pages) for hdiutil and asr. Image 1 will be created in file mode, whereas image 2 will be in block mode, ie bypassing the file system. Image 1 will consist of a series of files, whereas image 2 will contain a series of blocks, mirroring the original layout of the hard disk.
Technically the latter should be faster to restore (in block mode), although Apple recommend the first procedure (see man page for hdiutil). I haven't seen any evidence that images created in block mode can be mounted or restored, although you might be able to burn such images to a optical disks if applicable.
As I've pointed out in another thread (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1508199&tstart=0) I believe that this functionality should not be offered in disk utility, and I consider it a serious bug. -

Zoom H2n "file created" dates are WRONG
Zoom H2n (audio files) "file created" dates are 31 December 1969 @1900 unless I DL them to Win7 box and import them. The time and date is set correctly in the H2n. The time and date are correct for creation in Win7. It makes the EVENTS fall into December 1969 category in FCP X and I don't seem to be able to change them. Nothing about this is mentioned on the Zoom website.
I know this is a rather old post but this bug is still unfixed so maybe it may help someone.
This is actually a Zoom H2n bug, not a Final Cut one. The problem is that the Zoom sets the file creation dates to 1 january 1970 00:00. However it sets the right file modification date. A quick and dirty workaround I found for this is to use the terminal to fix it:
find /Volumes/H2N_SD -name "*.WAV" -exec fix_zoom_dates.sh "{}" \;
With fix_zoom_dates.sh being a shell script somewhere in your $PATH, containing the following:
#!/bin/bash
SetFile -d "$(GetFileInfo -m $1)" $1
What it does is scanning the whole H2n sd card and setting the file creation date to the file modification date, for every WAV file present. You have to do that every time you want to import something from the Zoom, before opening Final Cut.
Hope this can be helpful.

Copy to Mac file Created Date uses iPhoto Modified not Original Date
When a photo is edited in iPhoto the 'Extended Photo Info' 'Modified' date field is changed to the now() date and time but the 'Original' date iPhoto remains the same.
Then when a copy is made of a photo in iPhoto and then 'Paste Item(s)' is made to the Mac desktop all the files dates default to the iPhoto 'Modified' date not the iPhoto 'Original Date'. Then if a sort by the 'Original Date' on the Mac is desired it will not happen unless the Created date file settings is changed for each photo copied to the Mac Desktop.
How can photos in iPhoto be copied to the Mac Desktop with the 'Original Date' used in the Mac file 'Created' date field?when a copy is made of a photo in iPhoto and then 'Paste Item(s)' is made to the Mac desktop all the files dates default to the iPhoto 'Modified' date not the iPhoto 'Original Date'
Where are you seeing this date? In the Info window for the file with the Finder? That's to be expected because those dates are the file dates, not the EXIF photo created and modified dates which can't be view by the Finder. You will need to use a 3rd party EXIF view like EXIF Viewer for Mac OS X .
So don't confuse the EXIF date(s) with the file dates.

Save As not updating file "Created:" date in CC programs
I just downloaded and installed the trial for CC. So far, I have noticed that when performing a "Save As" on files stored locally on my computer that the "Created:" date is not being updated/changed to the current date/time. Is there a reason for this? Is there a fix? I am not synced with the cloud and don't know if that might be the reason.

the file that'll be attach have to be with creation date of the day the program will execute.
i did the part of sending e-mail,my problem is that i don't know how to take the creation date of the file in server(Windows Server).
So if anyone have an idea i'll be more than happy to read a bout it.

Date created. Date file created
I am on WIndows 7, and I just got a few mpeg clips captured with Premiere pro cs6
I would like to know WHEN were these senes shot, so how can I do this.
Presently in metadata of the Bridge the Date created / Date file created / Date file modified are the same (today's date)
In case that it cannot be done on Bridge, is there a simple utility that will give me the infoThe preferences are selected correctly, but as stated, in Bridge I see the same date for Date created / Date file created / Date file modified
I was told that the scenes were shot last month, therefore the dates shown in Bridge are incorrect.
Now, I am not sure what camera and/or cameras were used and under what conditions, so I am wondering if there is a way to determine the correct dates -
PSE12 Destroys Create Date of JPG when editing occurs. Is this a desirable feature?
It appears as thought PSE has been destroying the file create date whenever a save/replace occurs since PSE8. Is this a desirable feature or should PSE be revised to preserve the create date in the JPG?
Lightroom does not support comments (except for some web publishing services...).
I wrote CustomMetadata to fill this void, but I'm sure John Beardy would want you to know about Big Note too.
Or you can just bastardize some obscure IPTC field if you prefer...

Choose File Form Data Create Spreasheet From Data Files
I am following the tutorial for LC 8 and when I get to the topic titled "Collecting the data in a spreadsheet" it says to "Choose File > Form Data > Create Spreadsheet From Data Files".
However, when I try to follow that path I do not see a "Form Data > Create Spreadsheet From Data Files" menu option.
What am I not doing properly? How do I accomplish this task?
Thanks!Thank you so much Paul. I have been trying all day to locate the method by which I could create a spreadsheet using the pdf submit route. I suppose the tutorial in CS4 should have been changed to reflect the changed explanations, but I guess that would be difficult to do. Anyway it worked and I can now do the analysis I need from my customers (lots of pupils!).
Best wishes,

Photoshop CC on Windows 7 is saving the file "date" as the created date not the modified date
I have been using a much older version of PS (CS2) and just decided to update to PS CC. I have installed the trial version of PS CC and will begin the CC subscription as soon as the trial expires.
I have noticed that PS CC saves the (main) date of the files as the "created date" not the "modified date" as it pertains to Windows Explorer and the Windows OS.
Here is what is happening: I have a file that I created in 2007 that I use for a template. It is sized to specific dimensions, etc. and when I do my save as, it automatically saves into the desired file folder, so that's why I use this as a template. I setup a new photo and then drag and drop it into my template, flatten the image and save as. When doing this with PS CS2, the date for the newly saved file was assigned as the modified date (current date and time). So, when I searched for the file in Windows Explorer or when I went to open the file, the date shown for the file was the modified date. NOW, with PS CC when I perform the exact same process and do a save as, the file date shown in Windows Explorer and/or when I go to open the file is showing as the created date (3/9/2007), the date that I created and saved the template I use. This is aggravating to me because now when I want to open a file and sort by date, the date shown in Windows Explorer is not accurate. As far as I can tell, this only happens in PS CC. When I open an old file with ID CC and do a save as, it applies the current date, not the created date. And, when I was using PS CS2, whenever I did a save as the current date was applied as well.
In summary, when performing a save as, the created date is being applied as the main date instead of the modified date. The question is: Is there a way to change this so that the modified date can be applied as the main date for the file when performing a save as?Below are two files created the exact same way on the exact same computer: the top one was saved in PS CS2 and the bottom one was saved in PS CC. Both were saved using the "Save As" command. You will notice that when the "Save As" command was used in CS2 it updated the "Created:" date, however, in the CC version the "Created:" date was not updated, only the "Modified:" date was updated. Is there a way to update the "Created:" date when performing a "Save As" in PS CC?

How to get creation date of a file created in application server?
Dear experts ,
I have some txt files in a particular path in application server .Suppose path is - \\PMICHSAPLA30\INTERFACE\\BCD\CO\OTC\SALES_RPT\test.txt.
I want to fetch the creation date of this txt file - test.txt . I tried with fm - ADS2KIPUPL_GET_FILE_ATTRIBUTES , but this will give proper out put.
I need to get file creation date. If today I am creating file - abc.txt, so according to this file I should get today's date as creation date.
Please suggest me.BEGIN OF ty_file,
line(400) TYPE c, "File names
END OF ty_file,
This is the structure declaration.
l_v_unixcom would be ls -l \\PMICHSAPLA30\INTERFACE\\BCD\CO\OTC\SALES_RPT\test.txt
now call
CALL 'SYSTEM' ID 'COMMAND' FIELD l_v_unixcom
ID 'TAB' FIELD i_file[].
and see contents of i_file[] it should have the details, post results so we can help further -
I am doing some file migration for a client, using SharePoint 2013 on prem.
Whether copying files from a local or network drive, to a Document Library, or from Document Library to other Document Library, I want the option of
preserving file dates and created/modified by fields.
I am developing a pretty cool tool in Excel to analyze files and directory names for restricted characters, large file sizes, and long path names...and then
it generates copy commands or rename commands as desired. I will share this with you if you like. This little glitch is the last remaining barrier.
Can we copy and retain Modified/Created Data and time? Can I do this using xcopy or robocopy or do I need to use powershell, ShareGate, or some other tool?
I have tried Windows Explorer drag-n-drop, "robocopy /COPY:DAT" and "xcopy /k"
and these seem to work great in th CMD window until you display the resulting files in SharePoint...and the modified date shows as now and modified by
shows as me.
Any suggestions you can provide are most welcome.Hi Gerry,
