Hi all,
I'm new to this forum. I was wondering if anyone could suggest a program that will allow me to batch change the 'date picture taken' attribute from the file names of my photos. I would like to automate this process as I have about 3,000 photos that I will need to change in this way. Here are some more details:
I'm currently in the process of consolidating all of my personal photos to my iPhoto library. I have almost 3,000 pictures from an old cell phone where the file name of the photos is in the format mm-dd-yy_hhmm (02-04-04_2206 for February 4, 2004 10:06 PM). For whatever reason, the file name is a more accurate date and time than the attributes of the file, which are a few hours (and sometimes days) off. I would like to find a program that would be able to read the file name and change the 'date picture taken' field of the attributes accordingly. (I hope I wrote this in an understandable way.)
I use both Leopard and Vista but would prefer a Mac program first and a free and/or cheap program if possible. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, even if it's a suggestion to post this question in a different forum.
Thank you,
Eric
