Creation date of change fund

Hi all

I just migrated to a new Mac and restored from a Time Machine backup.

Somehow, the date of creation for my desktop folder became 1984, as such, is dimmed in the list under users folders and cannot be saved from, say, MS Word. Can I save money elsewhere and let down in it, but not can not record directly to it from any save dialog in a program.

How can I change the date of creation of office? I can't delete and make a new 'used by OSX... '. "etc, and neither I can 't touch [date]', in the terminal.

Anyone has an idea please?

If you see something called/Users/desktop that is NOT your default desktop computer.

Your own desktop folder / default is/Users/username/desktop.

  • Why Lightroom does not change the creation date of the file? (Mac OS)

    I find that Lightroom changes the creation of files present during the incorporation of metadata. I noticed that this behavior is different from the bridge, which reaches to write metadata changes to the file without affecting the creation date, affecting only the modification date.

    I read in other threads that it doesn't matter when even because moving files between disks will write a new file and, therefore, a new date of creation, but if this can be true in some systems (I don't know) is certainly not the case with Mac OS. For example, I have files dating back at least 1998 which have been moved from disc to disc to disc but still retain their original creation date. Which is as it should be. For many of my older images, there seems to be no capture embedded recognizable don't date anyway, so the creation date of the file is the single timestamp.

    It seems quite logical that the modified date of a file must be updated to take into account that the file has been modified (for example if adding metadata), but it seems to make sense that the date of creation of the file should be kept as the date, this file has been created. Changing them both on the same date seems to be a needless loss of information.

    Some would say that the process of adding metadata to a file creates a new file, the creation date must be updated to reflect this. But I would say that the creation date should be which would include a normal user as the creation date. We do not expect the creation date to change everything simply because a file is rewritten to the disk (for example when the defragmentation), however technically accurate, it would be to say that it is a newly created file. And the difference in behavior between Bridge and Lightroom shows that there is some confusion on this subject.

    Photo software ignores generally the operating system created by file-modification dates, and when he is not ignoring them, treated generally in a non-standard way that varies from one program to a program.  Rather than rely on the dates of the files of the operating system, the photo industry has defined fields of metadata with all sorts of specific photos dates: capture date/time (when the shutter button is depressed), date/time of scanning (when a movie or a print image was scanned digitally), date/time software photo altered image or metadata date/time of GPS location.   While some photo software will attempt to maintain the dates of file-created and - updated, many programs and services Web will not (including, but not limited to, LR).  In addition, many utilities files not always to preserve created and set dates to day that you move, copy it, backup and restore files.

    Therefore, I highly recommend that if you care photo dates and times (as I do), so no matter which photo software you use, you store the dates of capture in pictures industry standard metadata by using the tools provided by LR and other photo software.   In this way, you migrate the program to the program over the years, are you more likely to preserve that important metadata.

    Old photos and scans without that metadata, when you first import into LR, LR will assume that the capture time is the hour of the modified file.  LR to rewrite the date of capture of metadata in the file by selecting and making the metadata you can do > edit Capture time, clicking OK and then by metadata > save metadata to file. You can do it in batch - choose all your old photos and make metadata > edit Capture time, click OK, to metadata > save metadata to file.  LR will affect its time updated each file capture time.   If you want to set the time captured in the file create time, select this option in the window change the Capture time before clicking OK.  But beware that many Windows and Mac file utilities cannot preserve create time, even if they retain changed time, in order to create your files time can be wrong.   And of course, make sure that your backups are up to date and valid before making any new procedure file with which you aren't familiar.

    But if you really want to use non-standard file dates to keep your metadata information, and you want Adobe to modify accordingly the LR, so please give your opinion and vote on it in the Adobe official feedback forum: Bug report: Lightroom modifies the image files creation date. This forum is a user forum in which is rarely involved Adobe, Adobe said they read every post in the forum comments (and sometimes they respond).

  • Change the creation date

    I have different PHP files in different folders. I want to organize them by Date of creation. But I need to change the creation date in some cases. Can I do this?

    I select a file and the file > read > creation:

    but I can't change that here. Is it possible to change the date in "Create."

    The date of creation of a file cannot be changed.

  • How the creation Date to be later than the date of change?

    I am the review of records. (IE m4am, mp3, etc.)  When I open the Properties menu to see what date they were created, the 'Création' date is after the date of "modified".

    This is not unusual with the copied files, when you copy a file the file created date becomes the date of change and the current date (when the file is copied) becomes the date created, copy all the existing files on your computer and you can observe this behavior.

  • Adobe prelude ingest the creation Date changes

    I'm having a problem with Adobe prelude. I shot some interviews last weekend and tried the app iPad prelude Live Logger to construct markers in real time during interviews. I have been very wary of the camera (5Diii) and iPad to exact date/time/time zone schedule.

    I expected it would be easy as a prelude to import the identifier "metadata" iPad newspaper, but I discovered prelude bad reads the file creation Date. In fact, I have no idea where he is at the time of creation of.

    Here's what Finder is properly showing the creation date of the file:

    Screen Shot 2015-11-02 at 11.23.22 AM.png

    But the same clip in prelude shows this:

    Screen Shot 2015-11-02 at 11.24.31 AM.png

    As you can see, good day, wrong time!

    And the error I get when trying to apply this .xmp file Logger live to the clip wrote "the marker... from the associated metadata Panel isn't in the fury of time of the clip... and cannot be added". Which I suppose is because prelude read the bad weather!

    Any ideas?

    Hi Andyb,

    Thanks to accentuate the problem.

    I confirmed that prelude does not display the correct values for created/modified Date/time.

    I refer to the question within my team. We will probably address this issue.

  • Creation date of Y2K

    Hello

    For archival photographs accumulated over the years. I scan old photos and try to date.

    Many photographs, I gave them a date EXIF is maintained as such.

    By changing the date of creation of the file for this date EXIF BEFORE January 1, 1970 at 01:00, the earlier date is recorded as the date of creation until AUTOMATICALLY changed to January 1, 1970...

    What is the problem and how to fix it?

    It seems to me that the Y2K (or MILLENNIUM) the problem should be solved a long time ago...

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    My Mac:

    MacBook Pro (13 inch, early 2011) processor 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7

    8 GB memory DDR3 13333 MHz

    OS X Version 10.11.3 El Capitan

    dates of the system files have a limited allotted storage space. Therefore, a range of dates is available. On OS X, which will start January 1, 1970.

    You confuse the file with the contents of the file. A file is a physical storage location which must respect the limitations of file system. The image stored in the file may have a minimum date of the available file system before departure. This information is called "metadata" and for the photos is in the EXIF data. OS X also has its own metadata and iPhoto and photo stores its own metadata in the "library".

    For example, you cannot set a date file created before January 1, 1970. You simply change the EXIF date.

  • Keep the original creation date when copying or moving files (Windows XP/7, Windows Server 2003/2008)

    I know that the default behavior of (any version) Windows when copying or moving files, is that Windows makes everything first creates a new folder, copy the content, and when you move files, deletes the source after successful copy folder. Unlike Mac OS, where mechanisms of copy and move assume that when you copy a folder, the properties of the copied folder should have the same properties as the source folder, so to keep the original date of creation!

    Is it possible to change this behavior in Windows? I know that Robocopy in Windows Server 2008 has an option to keep the dates of creation of record, but I would like to know if you can change Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 behave similarly.

    It is very annoying that when you restore or copy a folder, the new folder has the date of the creation of the current date instead of the date of original creation.  People tend to look for old records that exist is no longer when you copied or moved the files.

    Hey E Kyung,
     
    There is no way to do this in windows. The design of Windows, this is the creation date refers to the file, while the date of the amendment relates to the content. If the creation date is really important to you, you can set after the copy with a utility.

    The easiest is to right-click on the file and drag it to the destination folder. you will be asked to copy or move. If you move, the creation date will not change.

    Yes, Robocopy is available in Windows 7.

  • Search for all files? Search by creation date?

    How can I search within all files?  I know that the files are there and contain the words I'm looking for, but Windows cannot find them.  Some files do not have extensions, some have a .bak extension and some have various other extensions.

    Also, I see an option to search by modification date, but not created.  How can I search for all files on my hard drive, created on a particular date (including the .dll, .exe, etc..).  I'm trying to find all the files that were installed with an application.  The files have different change dates, but all have the same creation date (when the application has been installed).

    I do not understand how that returns results for all files (including non indexed files).  Can you please explain?

    The search interface has been simplified at the request of the overwhelming majority of users. Until a more sophisticated user, you liked the very high amount of control WHAT XP gave it. The new interface 7 has fewer orders. When the research opens, you will see an "additional search... "Computer" and other. Since you are obviously in control of syntax, the interface for non indexed opening files is quite simple. There is always the option to expand the index to include everything. (Control panel/Indexing Options)

    If your index still don't "look in" a file, you can try to assign an 'association' for the file type. I have no idea what the .xyz file type might have as a native association, but you can associate this notebook. (right-click, open with, choose default program..., see the box always 'use..')

  • Why not Lightroom organizes photos and videos is missing 'date taken' by 'date modified' instead of 'creation date '?

    It always seems to be a problem with Lightroom 5. This post is one of the first results, after trying to Google this problem, and it's for LR3. I don't understand why something so basic to some photos (and video) Organization has been neglected for so long.

    I tried to import and organize all my old photos and videos by date with LR5. They have been backed up and copied several times over the years, most recently on an external drive last week. Thus, each file has a 'creation date' last week. But 'change' is the date recorded.

    It's not bad for pictures with a good EXIF "date taken" - but LR5 resembles the "creation date" for videos, making it completely useless to organize them into folders based on date. He puts videos I recorded in 2010 (in accordance with the "modification date") in a case 2014-12. Why.

    It is not only a video problem - some pictures that I took with devices that does not record date "EXIF taken" are also filed in folders of this month even if the 'update' on them is correct as is 5 years.

    How can I count on LR5 organization importing and based on the date when it is based on the files (lack of "date taken") having never been copied or backed up?

    It has been at least partially fixed in LR 5.5, for images: Lightroom: the dates do not match for the missing files metadata date/time.  But I just tested import a .avi in LR 5.7 / Windows 8.1 and the date below the thumbnail in the grid has been the time of last modification of the file system, while the Date of Capture in the metadata Panel has been set at the time of importation.

    I started a new topic in the Adobe official feedback forum: Lightroom: capture still inconsistent date/time for videos. Please add your vote and review on it.

  • Creation date '1969' issue.

    Hello-

    I just posted a question in another thread, so I apologize for flooding the forums.

    I just came across a really strange problem in my archives. It seems that almost all my scans old film who live within Lightroom have had their year 'creation date' changed in 1969.

    Just to give you some information on my machine:

    I run a 2008 Macbook Pro 5.1 wit 8 GB of ram, 128 GB SSD for my boot drive and a 256GB in my old optical Bay that I use as a storage drive. I have Lightroom and all my apps on this disk "storage" for the storage of large files.


    I ran simple copy and paste backups for a while and then started to use Chronosync two years ago. I know that this problem occurred last year and I am sure it has something to do with Lightroom because of the information I could do appear in the metadata Panel.


    I have attached a bunch of screenshots below. I'd appreciate any help I can get with this... This is a really strange question. I'm fine with it now because all the files, that this problem has affected always have the correct creation date in their modification date. The files were also renamed by their created some time ago. It's only going to cause a problem when I try to sort records by year in bridge and which do not.


    All files problem (which is actually my catalog of films together Lightroom) waiting to be a big key Word session and DNG conversion. Then, I was planning on moving them to an archive player where they will live out there. I'm not too comfortable with letting go files in an archive with the incorrect date information... even if file names reflect the exact date... I feel just like it could cause a problem on the road.


    Please let me know if you need more information from me.

    The symptoms that you observe have nothing to do with LR.

    There are two different sets of associated with a photo date/times: times file managed by the operating system (Mac OS) and the time of metadata that is stored in image files and are defined by cameras and software applications as LR.

    The Finder shows you the time of files - the time that the file was created, and when it has been changed by an application.  Different applications handle the time of creation and change differently, and not all backup/synchronization programs maintain the time of creation and modification.  The creation time, shown in the screen shot, 31/12/69 19:00, is a time special is 01/01/70 0:00 UTC (assuming that your computer is currently configured on the zone IS), which is represented in many programs with the digit 0.  This suggests that one of the programs that allows you to copy your files has a bug and set the time from creation to 0.

    LR does not set file times - when it creates a file or it changes, Mac OS will fix the time of creation or change automatically at the present time.

    LR tells you the time that are stored inside the metadata of the image files, and the most important of them is what LR calls "hour of capture.  Cameras to set the time of capture of their built-in clocks, and LR metadata allows you to change the capture time by using metadata > command change the Capture time.  LR shows the capture time in the right metadata Panel and next to the thumbnails in the library.

    If an image does not have a metadata capture time, LR will use the file's modification time (older versions of LR used at creation time).  Scanners generally do not set the capture time, so, in that your screenshot above, LR shows the modified next time thumbnails.

    In general, it is dangerous to rely on the file times to represent information about your images - too many programs will do unpredictable things with those moments.  Use programs like LR allows to define the metadata of image capture time (when the shutter is pressed in the film).  Industry standards has also set a time of additional metadata, usually called "date/time digitized", i.e. when the original image has been digitized, that is converted to digital bits by a scanner.   LR does not all orders for digital time keeping (it is for the images captured by digital cameras), so if you need to maintain also digitized date/time, you will need to use another program like Exiftool (free).

  • where the hell is the creation date?

    Hi all

    I arrived at the end of my (not very extended in any case) Wit...

    I export jpeg taken with cameras such as the Coolpix 900 devices and 995 acient.

    Of course, LR 4 does not write capture dates, so I started to investigate what was going on.

    So here's the situation:

    1. I see the dates of capture in LR left upper gallery above the image (i button) but

    2. no capture was on panels of metadata to the right, and

    3. no date capture when the original for opening files is with the viewer online Exifviewer or Jeffrey.

    ???

    Where LR becomes the capture date of?

    And then I get these and put them somewhere for export?

    Later, I would like to use the dates of capture as part of the exported jpeg names (using A Better Finder attributes or any equivalent of PC)

    Can someone help me please!

    Mike

    LR 3 and 4 are buggy during the manipulation of images which the metadata do not capture dates (EXIF:DateTimeOriginal).  For these files, the time shown next to the image of the library is not the date of capture - this is the creation date of the file (such as defined by Windows or Mac OS).

    In order to obtain a date of capture, stored in the original file or the exported versions, you will need to give the command Medata > change the Capture time.  Often, everything you need to do is select all the photos that do not have the time, do change the Capture time and then click all change a capture, and the pictures will now have their capture time adjusted to the time of the file last modification time.  However, I strongly recommend that you take a backup of these pictures first, because changing the Capture time can not be undone in LR.

  • Video metadata date is incorrect: the value and not of creation date sharing

    10 iOS, iPhone 6 +, Windows 10. Photos and videos are shared through iCloud, but NOT stored in iCloud.

    Once synced on my PC, the photos and videos have a truncated name (for example, "016a1f2e11dfcc680e1009cb96346b67678fb2c6bc.jpg"). Of course, this is not acceptable at all to me when I organize them on my NAS: I prefer a significant, sortable name, as "2016-09-16 18-15-20259 (Apple iPhone 6 more) .jpg.

    To do this, I simply read the EXIF information directly from the image, and I rename the image accordingly. No problem for the photos.

    But for videos... I do the same, in the world, but with less information. I can extract only creation date/time from metadata of the videos, not the unit that captured video. Sad, but I have not found anything else, and at least it's automatic.

    Recently, I found that the date in the video file is NOT correct: this is the timecode of SHARING via iCloud, not the timecode CAPTURE. I have therefore some videos with a delta of two weeks between the true creation as well as the "official" date

    I checked this on my phone: date is correct (once the video is no longer in full screen, the date is displayed at the top of the screen, and it is 'the' date I'm looking).

    So, question: How can I get the date of the 'real' creation of all these videos on my PC? It exists: it appears on the iPhone that took the video (a woman) AND mine. Information is 'lost' only on the PC, but I think it's a problem of reading of 'bad' metadata (I use FFMPEG to get currently), or the wrong file for reading (perhaps within an iTunes/database file, but didn't find, not found in the registry or the other).

    Best solution is to find something operate locally, through the command line, to do it in batch mode. A solution of GUI PEUT agree if I can automate with AutoIt (i.e. should not be a native Win32 application, not Java, .NET, GTK, QT and so on, OR must have an export feature). A solution based on the web is not suitable, but can be less boring to review each video one after another to manually check the date.

    Thanks in advance.

    In my opinion, the only way to fix this is with third-party software like this one.

    In pictures 1.0.1 I am trying to export worth several years of videos to put on an external hard drive to save space on my main machine, but when I export them (via drag + drop on the desktop), they lose their date of creation - and, therefore, their context. They have different types of files, but a digital SLR, the iphones and old camcorders.

    Hi DCAM77,

    Thanks for joining the forums!

    The PCI or 6023E has a 12-bit ADC.  In other words, it can make the difference between 4096 (2 ^ 12) different levels within the range of cards.  The card you have has a selectable range by ± 10 V, ± 5 V, ± 500 mV or ±50 mV software.

    This means that the minimum detectable variation will be 4 mV, 20 mV, 244 µV or 24, depending on the chosen range µV.

    You should be able to use the ± 500 mV or ±50 mV to get the least significant bit (LSB) value, you need, even if it means that your signal is located between these values.  If not, then you need to consider other materials to the application, or the addition of external circuits across the signal.
