Selective changing of file dates
My girlfriend and I are just back from a trip to Africa. We took about
1,500 photos between us, but now they are loaded on my PC, I noticed that her camera was set to the wrong date. The day and month (also time) are OK, but she had set the year as 2010, not 2009. This is important because I want to be able to view the pictures in the order we took them. I have been looking for ways of changing the year from 2010 to 2009 on the files affected, without changing the other elements of the date, but I can't find anything which would help. I don't want to have to do it manually because over 800 pictures are involved. Does anyone have any ideas? |

While I haven't used it, this looks like a good possibility:

"SetFileDate" is a free program that will do it.

You need Touch Pro available from: http://www.filecluster.com/System-Ut...-TouchPro.html It will do what you want without paying for it, but if you register and pay, further features are enabled which would make what you want to do easier. As it is only about 10 bucks or so to register, it's hardly going to break the bank. |

It only seems to be capable of changing file dates to one stated date. What I need is something which will change the year, but leave the hours, minute, second, day and month all alone. |
