Listing files by date created

Is it possible to list list files/folders by date created rather than date modified?

Hi
in Icon view - ctrl (right) click the folder background & choose 'keep arranged by...Date created'
or use Finder-View-arrange by; or press Command-Ctrl-3
in list view -. Add a column for Date created via Finder-View-Show view options then select that at the top to show in forward/reverse order. Again, command-ctrl-3 works too, once you've added the column.

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!).

Choose File Form Data Create Spreadsheet - where is this dialogue?

This is the dialogue I need to use my pdf to generate the spreadsheet so i can add returned forms. However, nowhere can I find;
Choose File>Form Data>Create Spreadsheet from Data Files
This is found in the quick start tutorials in the section entitled "Collecting the data in a spreadsheet" - section number 2
How the heck do I either a) Find it
b) Set up my Adobe software to show it
or c) Create the right file that "encourages" this option to be seen when I open Acrobat (Pro 9).
I am mightily confused and, having looked around the internet, am not alone in this.
Many thanks for any help you can offer folks.

Why do I have files with Date Created of Feb 5, 2040?

I have at least 26 documents with Date Created shown as Feb 5, 2040 10:28 PM.
The Date Modified seems to be okay, ranging from 9/24/00 to 10/29/12 - except for one that's 12/31/69.
The Get Information window shows the same dates as the normal Finder window.
File types are mostly DOC with some JPG and PDF and one TIFF.
All were created by me over the course of time on a succession of Macs (except for that 12/31/69 PDF, which was downloaded from Garmin) and then migrated.
Those I've checked have a Last Opened date that's the same as the Date Modified date.
These documents are all in my Documents folder, in two subfolders, with some of them further down a hierarchy of subfolders.
I first noticed this a few weeks ago.
The number of these 2/5/40 documents seems to be increasing.
Does anyone know:
What could cause this phenomenon?
How can I stop it?
It's not a big problem per se, but is it likely to cause other problems?
Is there a way to correct the Created Date?
Thanks for any help!

Then I may only guess that perhaps the date was off at some point in time that coincided with when those files were created or the application that created them has a bug in it.
Oh, at this point in time are all new files dated incorrectly? If so then there could be a corrupted part of the PRAM. You might try Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM.

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?

sanjempet --
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!

Downloaded attachments show download date as "Date Created"

I am having an issue with Mail but have also tried using my webmail ( Gmail ) and I am having the same issue. When I download an attachment ( documents, jpegs, etc ) , it does not retain the original date created, instead it displays the download date as "Date Created ". Is there anything I can do to fix this?
Daniel

No, as far as I know, because the document is "created" as a new document (or is that recreated? when you save it to disk. This is true not only for email attachments, but to any file copied to your hard drive, and the same is true under Windows.
However, some programs save that information within the file itself, independently of your OS's file information. For example, in MS Office apps, if you go to File > Properties you can find the original date created under the Statistics tab (but note that the General tab shows the date you downloaded the file as "date created").

Date created problem

I work for a newspaper that sorts all files on "date created" using YY/MM/DD format.
I recently started using Aperture, and the desk said they couldn't find the files I sent in. I finally figured out it's because Aperture uses (YYYY-MM-DD,Thh:mm:ss) for "date created" and I find no way to change it.
Is there any way to override this format?
As it is I'm forced to use my trusty PhotoMechanic for importing, only because there's no way to change this format.
Macbook pro Mac OS X (10.4.10) 2GB mem
Mac OS X (10.4.10)

It's not a filename I'm talking about. It's just the way the "date created" line is filled in.
As I mentioned in original post, all other photographers for the NY Daily News can output a file (not from Aperture, obviously) with the date created field in YY/MM/DD format.
Whatever you type in that field that isn't in the format YYYY-MM-DD,Thh:mm:ss is rejected, saying it has to be ISO 8601 XML compliant.
But the newpaper needs another format, and other programs permit me to change it--PhotoMechanic, for example.
I can't see why that should be a fixed format, or why the user can't change it if ISO 8601 XML compliance is not important.

Date Created files are listed as 12/31/1903 ???

All my files and folders listed under: Date Created has incorrect dates of Descember 31, 1903. Files under Date Modified are correct. System files and apps are also not affected.
These incorrect dates are on my internal drive and also on my PC backup servers.
Questions:
- What is the cause?
- How to correct?
- Most important. Are these files in any kind of jeopardy for corruption.
Thanks

Or the files are missing the creation date in the directory structure, maybe because they've been to another platform and back.
The original Macs use 1st Jan 1904 as the base date from which all other dates are calculated. Unix uses 1st Jan 1970 (the "epoch"), Windows might use 1900.
So it sounds like the creation date has been filled out with high value, producing the 2's compliment effect you're seeing, setting the date to just before the earliest value it could be, In effect, the creation date is being seen as a slightly negative number, perhaps -1.
This would reinforce my belief that the files have been to another OS that doesn't know about storing creation dates. This, of course, might just be OS9 or earlier, rather than anything like Windows or OS/2.
Where were these files originally created ?

Mismatch in "Date Created" in File Properties vs IPTC Core

I have scanned my old photos in .jpg format. When I try to change the Date Created (Select Photo -> Right-Click -> File Info... -> under IPTC Image -> Change the Date Created to the date the event was held), the Date Created under File properties did not change. In effect, when I want to do a search of dates, it does its search on the Date Created in File properties.
Can I change the date on the File Properties? If so, how. Can this be done on a batch, like synchronization of Date Created in File Properties and IPTC Core but using the information on the IPTC core.
btw, I am using Bridge that comes part of the Photoshop CS2.
Heeelllllppppp........

There have been several posts about changing the "date created" in Bridge. The conclulsion is NO. There are other programs that can do this so concentrate your efforts there (do not have a list so will have to explore).
Do not confuse the three "dates" that are in metastock.

did you find a way to do that?
I've got a problem similar to your: a list of 3000 wines to filter in a reasonable fast time.
how big is your dictionary?
with a text file encoded in UTF-8 I take about 60 seconds on the emulator, maybe with a binary format the search can be done faster...

"Date Created" incorrect in Finder after copying image files from CF reader

Whenever I download image files (by drag and drop copying) from a CF card reader, the 'Date Created' info incorrectly defaults to 'Dec 31, 1903' in the List view of the Finder window.
'Date Created' shows up blank in the File Info window, too. Correct file info does however show up in the copied Meta Data.
I've only been able to transfer correct 'Date Created' info by using Image Capture, which is pretty annoying.
I've tried several cameras, CF cards, USB & FW card readers, and Macs running both Panther and Tiger. Same problem all around. Interestingly, files copy without a problem onto a PC.
I'm a photographer and I need to sort my images by 'Date Created' because I often shoot with two cameras and need to know the chronological order in which photos were taken.
Ideas anybody?

I can't open a file I just created a week ago and it says pages needs to be updated to open the file but its up to date

I can't open a file I just created a week ago and it says pages needs to be updated to open the file but its up to date, what do I do?

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed over 110 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:
http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/viewforum.php?f=22&sid=3527487677f0c 6fa05b6297cd00f8eb9&mforum=iworktipsntrick
You can add the icon of the missing Pages on your Dock or open Pages from the Apple menu > Recent Items list.
Or you can archive Pages 5 so that it doesn't automatically open.
If you are unhappy about this review/rate Pages 5 in the App Store.

Applescript to take a file name element to change Date Created

This so beyond me but I have been led to believe is can be done. Can anyone help me please?
I have thousands of archive files. ALL of these files' names start with the date in dd-mm-yy format. eg. 31-01-11 File Name.pdf or 25-12-09 Filename-02.pdf
I would like to be able to drag a folder onto an application and for that app to search through the folder and all sub-folders, for these files and change the files' Date Created to the date at the start of the filename.
This feels so easy to type but I fear much more complicated to do however I do thank you very much in anticipation for your help.
Best wishes
John

Hello
Here's something you might try if the problem is still open.
It uses SetFile(1) command in Developer Tools, which you need to have intalled.
cf.
http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/m an1/SetFile.1.html
It can set creation date to any date between 1970-01-01 to 2038-01-18 inclusive.
Simple check for date in file name is implemented so that error log is written to a log file on desktop when given date is considered invalid or SetFile raises error.
One thing to note.
It will process both files and directories under given directory tree in order to process package file. But it is not smart enough to leave the package contents alone, which means if a package contains a file or directory with name matching the pattern, it's creation date will be also changed.
Minimally tested under OSX 10.2.8 at hand.
But NO WARRANTIES of any kind. Please use it on test folder first.
Good luck,
H

How create animated power view reports using sharepoint list as a data source in sharepoint 2010?

Hi All,
I got a client requirement to create reports using SharePoint List as data source. The report should show reflection depends on values changed (I mean animation).
I have heard about the power view/power pivot which does this kind of animations in reports.
Can someone please guide me on creating reports which shows animations
In power view/power pivot using SharePoint List as data source in SharePoint 2010.
Thanks in advance.
MercuryMan

Hi MercuryMan,
Yes, Power View, a feature of SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services Add-in for Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 or SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Edition, is an interactive data exploration, visualization, and presentation experience.
It provides multiple views featuring tiles, slicers, a chart filter, and a number of visualizations, including cards, small multiples, and a bubble chart. So, we can use Power View to do intuitive ad-hoc reporting for business users such as data analysts, business
decision makers, and information workers.
Currently, Power View report only supports two types of data models: PowerPivot Worksheet, and data models based on Analysis Services Tabular Model or Multidimensional Cube.
In your scenario, you can create PowerPivot worksheets using SharePoint List as data source, deploy the PowerPivot worksheet to a SharePoint Library or PowerPivot Gallery, and then generate Power View reports based on the PowerPivot worksheets on the SharePoint
site.
To use SharePoint List as data source in Excel PowerPivot, you can refer to the following resource:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh230322.aspx
To create a Power View report based on PowerPivot model, you can refer to the following links:

File to file scenario - incomplete data created in AL11

Hi all,
I have a scenario where I split a single file to multiple files. So there are samples from the internet with or without using BPM and I was able to do them properly. The problem is, the result file only writes the first field of my structure, for example structure below:
<Recordset>
<RECORDS>
    <Field1>Value1</Field1>
    <Field2>Value2</Field2>
    <Fieldn>Valuen</Fieldn>
</RECORDS>
</Recordset>
When I check in SXI_MONITOR, my data created three SubDocument (after the mapping) and contains all the fields in my data. However, in AL11 it only writes Value1 instead of Value1|Value2|Valuen........ The receiver comm. channel is properly populated with FCC values. Is there any authorization or config in the target folder that should be checked?
Thanks!

Hi,
Problem is with your FCC , Please check it carefully or take some example from SDN.
if not, Check the authorization for the particular file in the AL11 folder also the File Permission , 777
Regards,
Jude
