Re: Combining pics from iphoto

<r>Let me see if I understand you correctly. You normally use iPhoto to look at you pictures, correct? If this is true, you will not be able to see the pictures in the Finder (well, not easily) , because iPhoto uses it's own way of storing and organising your pictures. In this case, what you need to...

Re: Set date based on EXIF does not work pre year 1970

<r>Hello, As there seem to be more API's, probably Apple is working on this too. Probably there will be GC users that will want to change Creation/Modify date anyway, so yes a warning about setting this date would help prevent people blaming GC. And that it is beyond GC'c control. Regards, Jan On Ju...

Re: Set date based on EXIF does not work pre year 1970

<r>Hello, When setting to dates before 1970, strange things start happening. When I set the EXIF date (and the box is unchecked) the Finder date changes. Setting the EXIF date to 1961 results in the Finder displaying 2098, then setting the file date according to EXIF this results in Finder displayin...

Re: Set date based on EXIF does not work pre year 1970

<r>Hello, I thought I had not checked that option. I reran the test. Results are as you expected. Changing under option 3 also works as could be expected, I didn't note original EXIF date. (I did now with testpic6) So works as designed. (only last opened in first test with setting according to EXIF ...

Re: Set date based on EXIF does not work pre year 1970

<r>Ha, Yes, that can be a bit confusing to a developer, certainly when they return different results. But does that also explain that changing EXIF date also changes the time/date stamp displayed by the Finder? I thought EXIF date was kept inside the file. But as I was showering it occurred to me wh...

Re: Set date based on EXIF does not work pre year 1970

<r>Hi, As promised some more structured testing. I must say, peculiar behavior. After restarting the system, Finder displays for testpic2 and testpic3 (dates before 1-1-19070) for all dates Thursday, January 1, 1970 1:00 AM Changing the EXIF date, changes the modification and creation date in Finder...

Re: Set date based on EXIF does not work pre year 1970

<r>Hmm, I tried some, indeed something strange going on. Will try and do some structured testing in the morning.

Re: Set date based on EXIF does not work pre year 1970

<r>Hi, The underlying system is UNIX. UNIX has the "touch" command. The touch utility sets the modification and access times of files. Used with the "t" option it can change the Access and Modification times to the specified time instead of the current time of day. The argument is of the form ``[[CC...

Re: Canon EOS 5D Mark II Software question

<r>Hello, Thanks to all that responded. Someone (thanks Carl) pointed out the Canos site to me (obvious of course, should have checked that first) And there I found the following: "We are planning to release an update to Canon's EOS Utility, which is compatible with 10.6.8/10.7, on the web for downl...
