Hi Gang, I thought file date change had been a part of livecode for years, but I can't find anything in the docs about setting the created or modified dates in files. I need to do this on the Mac desktop.
Why? because several years ago $@$#$@#$@'ing dropbox, without my permission, started changing not only filenames but DATES in a huge swath of precious photos in a particularly dishonest way -- they wanted my free account to fill up quickly so I'd have to "upgrade". I know the EXIF tags still exist inside each file, but all the file dates had been changed to the date of copying. Dropbox has been increasingly piggish lately - not allowing more than 3 machines on the free account. It's a mess. This does not endear me to these greedy people. I have to write a custom handler to deal with this - there's no app that can do this - I don't think. perhaps there's something I can call from the shell - I'd be good with that. Anyone have an idea? Thanks in advance. sqb -- Stephen Barncard - Sebastopol Ca.
