This is getting "curiouser and curiouser". I should have done this sooner. I assumed that the datestamp and EXIF data would be the same. But checking "properties" with gqview shows the EXIF date data is correct, with the file datestamp being out to lunch... [i660][waltdnes][~/camera/20180824] exiftool -T -CreateDate IMG_0363.jpg 2018:08:24 14:12:19 [i660][waltdnes][~/camera/20180824] ll -og IMG_0363.jpg -rw-r--r-- 1 477731 Jan 26 2013 IMG_0363.jpg Given this info, I can cobble together a short script. A "for" loop cycles through "*.jpg". Read "CreateDate" from the EXIF data, and feed it into the "touch" command, which would reset the physical file datestamp. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
