Update File Date Created on Move

Hello,
I was wondering if there is a setting in Windows 2012 R2 so that the "Date Created" attribute of a file is updated to the current date/time when the file is being moved from one folder to another?
Thanks!

Hi,
You could use Robocopy command to retain the "Date Created" attribute. You can also use the /MIR command to mirror a directory structure completely.
For more detailed information about Robocopy, please see:

Extract date created from .mov files

Help!! Please!!! Is there any way to find the date a movie file was created, taken, filmed? I have literally hundreds of movie files that I'd like to identify when they were taken, and I have search for some kind of batch renaming tool to extract this info and rename the file. And I can't find anything anywhere to help me figure this out. If anyone can offer me any assistance I'd be forever grateful!!

Even the free version of QT Player allows you to "copy" frames. These could be "pasted" into a new blank using any image editing software.
What ever frame is showing when you stop playback will be the one copied. More control by using the right left arrow keys.
The Pro upgrade can export a frame to many image formats. It doesn't matter that the format is PAL. NTSC and PAL are TV playback settings. Your computer doesn't care.

File date created

How to find the date created from a file?

The attached library make a call to a Windows dll to grab file properties, including the file creation date. Of course this only works on Windows.
It's in LabVIEW 6.0.2, but upgrades OK.

Update file date/time stamp using java

Let me explain you what I am going through:-
I have created a java based installer using Jexpress tool and after I do the installation of my files, the files takes the current date rather then taking the date when it was created or modified.
Everything goes into JAR and I heard that Jar file do not retain the date/time stamp of the file.
I would like to know if we can change the date and time stamp of the files using Java.
Is there any method to do that or can we do this by writing the java class?
Thank You
Mehul

What's the best way to update file references after a move?

I have a Photoshop Elements photo catalog with about 25k pictures all pointing to a network share I call \\thehive. I've moved, or sync'd if you will, all of the files in the \\thehive network share to a local storage drive for better performance which is now located at the P:\ drive. I plan to treat the P drive as my main drive that the catalog reads from, and use \\thehive network simply as a clone of the P drive which I plan to keep in sync using SyncToy. I already have all of this setup in place, files are sync'd on both the P drive and \\thehive, everything works as expected so far. But how to I go about updating the catalog so that it starts from the P drive instead of the \\thehive? A picture today is pointing to \\thehive\2008\somepicture.jpg and I need it to point to P:\2008\somepicture.jpg.
I'm a pretty advanced computer user so I can edit an XML file or do some advanced unsupported operations if I had to. Would appreciate your thoughts and suggestions.

The fastest way is to directly change the values in the catalog.pse9db database. The database is a SQL Lite database, so if you know (or know someone who knows) how to run SQL queries against a database, you're in luck because Adobe did an excellent job of designing a highly normalized database schema.
I highly recommend first trying this on a copy of your database. In general, the procedure goes like this:
Add one of your images on the P: drive into the catalog. This will establish a listing for the P: drive and its identification in the volume_table table.
Run a SQL query against the volume_table table to see a listing of all the rows.
Note the values of the "id" column for your "thehive" volume and the "P:" volume.
Run a SQL query against the media_table table to update the value of the volume_id column, replacing all instances of the "thehive" id number with the id number of your "P:" drive. The SQL query will look something like this:
Update media_table
set volume_id = "<your new value>"
where volume_id = "<your old value>"
I've tested this with PSE9.0.3 on Win7, changing the location from a CD on my E: drive to a USB stick on my F: drive.
Good Luck!

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

Change "Date Created" on File Folders

What is the easiest way to change or alter the "Date Created" on file folders - To a date that is 6 months older? (OS 9.1)
I need to store my photos in a single large chronologically ordered file. Some of them are sourced from scanned photos and some are received in emails from folks.
I want to store them in the same date order as the day the photos were taken and NOT the day I filed them.
Thanks.........Robert

Neil and Don,
I figured out a way to allow me to change the "Date Created" to any date I desired.
1. Open "Date & Time" file in "Control Panels".
2. Set the date desired (i.e. 6 months earlier.)
3. Then Close "Date & Time"
4. Now in (finder) click on "Command + N",
This creates an "untitled file folder" on the desktop
with the newly selected "Date Created".
5. Give the new file folder the name desired.
6. Drag the desired files to the newly created file folder
and drop them.
7. Trash the OLD Date Created Folder.
8. Remember to go back to "Date Created" in "Control
Panels" and change back to the current date.
The above took care of my original question; But, I decided to use the same technique to change the "FILE" date created,
rather than the "FILE FOLDER".
I opened my digital camera software and took a ".jpg" photo file and did a "Save As" while "Date & Time" were in the altered state. My .jpg photo file now has the new "Date Created".
I know that Niel and Don are completely aware of such a technique, But, I figured other forum members may find this method useful.
Thanks for all of your continuing help........Robert

Converting raw files into tiffs and preserving the orig. date created

How do I get the original date created to show up in folders when converting raw files into tiffs? Once converted the original date created is in the "file info" window but does not show up as the original date created in the designated folder. It is displayed as the same date as date modified.

Thanks Mylenium
As Mylenium has said, this information can be added later by various means. It will also depend on the software you are using on what date it is reading!
As an example there are:
The files date created
Photoshop schema DateCreated
EXIF schema DateTimeOriginal
XMP schema CreateDate
For an external tool you can use ExifTool http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/
or you could try to get a script written in the Photoshop or Bridge scripting forums.

P2 ingested footage with wrong date created metadata

Hello, we're trying to standarize all of the media for our systems. Part of this includes ingesting P2 footage using Prelude and encoding it as DVCHDPro quicktime files. I know that the recommended method that adobe gives for ingesting P2 footage is to keep the file structure in tact and use the media browser function of Premiere; this, however, doesn't suit our company's needs of maintaining a relativaly NLE-agnostic media library and having quicktime compatiable discrete video clips of all our media. We're using Mac OSX operating systems, by the way.
The problem is that, when using Prelude to ingest, it seems that Prelude obliterates the "date created" metadata and file data (e.g. when selecting the "get info" on the clip itself; that file data). After ingesting a clip, if I open it in Premiere, there is no date-based metadata that matches the original record time on the .mxf file itself. Nor when I view the clip in OSX's "get info" does the "date created" panel reflect the date that the original file was created. It seems that it should be possible to write the original "date created" data to the ingested file (in the ingest panel in Prelude I can see the correct "date created" time); FCPX is able to do this when ingesting P2 media using their systems. Is there an option that I'm missing or is this simply not possible with this version of Prelude?
To illustrate: here's a screencap of the ingest panel in prelude, notice the "date created" column reads 2013-06-28T11:43:05; which is the correct record date of that clip:
However, after I ingest the clip, both within Premiere and the "get info" panel in OSX, the "date created" now refers only to my import time:

Thanks both for your responses. I checked the .mxf file "date created" and it is indeed empty (see picture).
The "date modified time" however, is correct. I do understand that when dragging media directly from the media browser in premiere that the metadata displays correctly; what I think should also happen is that when the footage is ingested and transcoded via Prelude, it should also display correct metadata. As shown in my pictures above, prelude does indeed see the correct "date created" (wherever it gets that information); it just obliterates it after it transcodes the clip; it's not available either in the "get info data" (which, somehow, FCPX does do when importing P2 media through their system) nor (most strangely) in premiere. Any settings or changes that could be made to address this would be appreciated.

Finder Search Results DATE CREATED / 10.5=MOST USELESS O.S. OF ALL TIME?

Please Please Please tell me there's still a way to turn on the view options in finder search windows/results to display a files "Date Created" / "Date Modified" / "Size" etc. (basically all the options we have in a finder list view window).
Seriously, if we are limited to Name/Kind/Last Opened with no way to see, at the very least, Date Created/Modified in the search results Mac OS 10.5 has just become useless to meet my needs. I mean totally and entirely useless. I mean sell my iMac and buy a windows box so I can find my files useless.
Just tell me there's a way to turn on ALL the view options.
<Edited by Moderator: Please See Terms of Use>

There does not seem to be any way to restore Finder's behavior and options for search as it was in Tiger etc. Leopard's Finder view options aren't even allowed any longer in search windows (go to View->Options to get a frustrating message about it).
There seems to be NO 3rd party utility to allow real-time file search and display/sort results by size -- obviously noone wrote it, since Finder used to be able to do that - until Leopard, that is.
If this is a bug it's a pretty big and obvious one. I've reported it on bugreporter.apple.com (I guess others have done the same).
If it were to be considered a "feature" in Leopard, it'd be one of the most limiting ones in 10.5 - this one and the Dock's Stacks are pretty high on the list of useless "new features" in Leopard. John Siracusa wrote in his excellent review about these and others (at http://arstechnica.com/reviews/os/mac-os-x-10-5.ars/12) :
"+Not only does the Leopard Finder take no bold steps towards a brave new world of file management, it even further distances itself from a coherent incarnation of established file management paradigms. The changes in Leopard do indicate that Apple has taken a renewed interest in improving the Finder, but motion is not the same thing as progress. For where I'm sitting, it looks like one step forward, two steps back.+"
Speaking as someone who's been developing software on Mac OS X since pre-Aqua Mac OS X Server 1.0 days, I sadly have to agree...

OS X lion changes "Date Created" for old files that I edit or update.

Whenever i edit my old photos and save the changes, Finder changes the "Date Created" for that file to the date of the last edit.
This is annoying as i used finder and date created to search through my old images. Is there any way to get it back to functioning like the previous system ?

What about the incredable lag time from clicking on a program to the time it opens (or the time till the loading screen starts)?

I would just chalk it up to slow hardware but they load real quick in windows 7 and once this bad spot is loaded the program runs so fast and nice afterword. Maybe some tweeks? I wonder if this would happen in Snow?
The coment "few outdated programs" Ive seen alot its not just a few its a lot and since games are not Apple's strong point I would think they would want to keep as many as they could...
An example of the rants you will see from a lot here. Don't be put off as these problems are generally user specific, and these same old comments come out after the release of every OSX I can remember. When Lion is upgraded to the next OSX you can gaurentee these forums will be full of people screaming about how great Lion was. Happened with Tiger, Leopard and Snow Leopard.
So come to think of it you may be better off Googling sites that give you unbiased views on Lion, rather than expect any positive comments here. For every one complaint there are probably 100,000 people with no issues.

Exporting catalog, making changes, then importing catalog does not update file movements and deletions

I export part of my master catalog to a laptop. I include the image files so I can edit the files at full res. After managing and editing files I import the catalog back into the master catalog. When importing I check to replace metadata, develop settings and negative files. I have been running some tests to be sure all my work is being captured in the master catalog by this process. I find that if I change develop settings or photo ratings this is detected when the file is imported and the data in the master catalog is updated properly. The surprise is that if I delete files or move files among folders in the exported catalog these changes are not detected and these changes are not updated inthe master catalog. It seems bizarre to me that such changes are not detected but I do not see how to get LR to recognize these changes and include them in the catalog update. Without this capability I don't see how to use catalogs to move part of a catalog to another computer for edits and file management and then move back to the master catalog.

There are various reasons why Lightroom works this way, but you'll need use pick flags to indicate photos to be deleted, and other metadata like colours or collections.

The new updated version of iMovie 10 won't let me open my previous files I created before the update today. I have a wedding that I'm trying to finish and deliver and now I can't because that file version won't open. I keep getting an error message

Hello,
Please help me figure this out. I'm very unhappy at the moment. I'm fustrated and don't have any idea how to revert to the original version before the update was done on iMovie 10. I NEVER hated APPLE until NOW!! I love APPLE products and apps so please help me stay in that mindset. So I worked on some movie projects when I got my macbook pro 6 months ago. I update reguarly. I saw the update prompt and honestly, I did not think I would have ANY issuess with opening my previous files that I created only a few months ago with this updated version.The new updated version of iMovie 10 won't let me open my previous files I created before the update today. I have a wedding that I'm trying to finish and deliver and now I can't because that file version won't open. I keep getting an error message and the iMovie app closes. Last night I saw the file and tried to open it but no luck. Error message came up again. I reboot and turned off my laptop for the evening and tried again just now but nothing!! I need that video. My job depends on it! I worked so hard on this wedding video and now it's lost and won't open. I work another job and don't have much time. I really don't want to start all over again. Please help me. Thanks so much for your assistance.

I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?

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?
