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!

Copy files over network and preserve original date modified/created

This problem originally cropped up when importing photos into iphoto. I copied all my pics across the network and stored them locally then imported them into iPhoto. Problem was, any pics that did not have EXIF data were sorted by iPhoto, by date created...which was the date they were copied to the Mac.
I got around that by trashing the iPhoto Library, then importing the photos over the network. The dates on the pics were correct on the Windows machine till the copy process changed them.
is there a way to copy across the network and keep all the file attributes as they are on the original..An archive type feature.
I had thought of RsyncX, but have not used that yet from within the Mac.
Is there a way from within Finder to copy and keep attributes? or a third party app?
Neil

zip the folder with your pictures (control-click on it and choose "compress folder"), copy the zip files to the remote computer and unzip it there. this will preserve the modified and created dates.

SSM Dashboard can't find data to create it

Hi everybody,
now I`m trying to create a new Dashboard from SSM 7.5 TAB, but when I select the MODEL from I want to load data, first appears a message saying "Loading data please wait" , and after few seconds, I got the following message on the rigth of the screen :
" No data was found for the current selections "
any ideas?
there's data loaded that I can view it from SCORECARD page.
thanks for your valuable tips!

Hello Ricardo,
I have been in the same problem. You must check the LASTDATE document in PAS.
Go to your model in PAS and expand it. Examine in Documents, should see a LASTDATE document.
In it, you will find a date (01 dec 2010), configure it with the last date of the data you got in PAS.
These work for me, and of course thanks to our friend Bob.

How to set "Date Modified" as default tab in Open File window

Photoshop CS5.1
When I click on Open File, the window that comes up has several default columns (FileName, Date, Size, etc).
I can right-click on the tab bar and add "Date Modified" to the tabs, but I would like to have "Date Modified" be a default column whenever I open the file selector (and no matter which folder I open up).
I cannot find a way to do this. I want to know the last date I modified a file, not when it was created.
Is there a way to universally set this column as a default?

Date modified always shows for me in Details view.
I believe what columns are showing has to do with what columns you've set in Windows Explorer...
Here's an excerpt paraphrased from my Configure the Windows 7 "To Work" Options book that may cover what you need:
Open Windows Explorer...
Navigate to a folder of the type you want to see (e.g., one containing your Photoshop images) and set Details view.
Make the window look the way you'd like future Explorer windows to look. Reorganize Details view columns, e.g., to Name, Size, Type, Date Created, Date Modified, Attributes, etc. and size them so they fit.
Choose Tools - Folder options, then click the View tab.
Click [ Apply to Folders ] to apply the above settings to all folders.
[ OK ] to exit.
Hope this helps.
If the Date modified still doesn't stick for you, there are some other things I've done (and documented) to tweak the configuration of my systems that may help make my seeing the columns being set as shown in the attached image when I choose File - Open in Photoshop.

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 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.

Create a word document with TOC, table,etc

Hi,
How to create a word document with Table of content(TOC),header, footer, table, etc?
Help me with any APIs or examples. I have already tried with POI API, but couldnt create TOC.. So any other api or any solution is available to create complex word document.
Thank you

Hi BIJ001,
Thanks for your valuable suggestion.
Open standards WordprocessingML format is supports by Microsoft word. It is typical xml format of designing word document. But creating document with TOC,tables, different styles of paragraphs are complex. Using this format, i have created simple docs. I never tried with complex formats like TOC. The generating File should be in ".doc or .docx" format only.
Hi gimbal2,
I am parallely looking to find solution in OpenOffice format also. But i never try out ".docx" file format. I will try to look out this option.
Thanks for the input.

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" 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.

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.
Ivan Virag

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 Window - Date Modified Column Keeps Changing

When I open a Finder window, change the size of the "Date Modified" column then close the Finder window, the next time I open the same Finder window, the "Date Modified" column will compress the size of the column.
Why isn't Finder 10.9 maintaining my column changes?
Any assitance or insight whould be appreciated.

I solved the scrunched Date Modified column header in a similar fashion but added the Date Added field, which fixed the width of both Date columns.
After doing so, I now find both Date-oriented columns display and read dynamically the actual date and time.
I'm now looking for a solution to that issue, explained here:
finder window date added date modified show date time always

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!
