Preserve photo timestamp when exporting from iPhoto
Cats: News|
When photos are exported from iPhoto using the Export function, all the photos will get the current date/time stamp. But if you use any of these photos in an app that organizes them by date/time, then the organization will be lost. For example, I export a set of images from iPhoto to view in my Wii's photo tool, but those images are organized by date.
To fix this problem, I took advantage of the EXIF data in the JPEG images from my digital camera. To batch change a large set of images, I use the open source command-line tool jhead, which is available as a pre-compiled Intel binary (source code is also available from the website, or via Fink).
I copied the jhead binary into an Applications folder in my home directory, and made it executable with the following command:
