Looking forward to Hayo's modified script! mp3 or otherwise files themselves, but other metadata is managed in 'the library'. iTunes works a similar way for songs: some of the data is tagged within the. Hence our current goal of scrubbing the file PRIOR to import. My feeling is that once it's in that Apple Photos Library, all that data is 'managed' and altering it there is too risky. And so I figured that Photos is storing that metadata in its library somewhere, and so I didn't even bother to try to disassemble the library and find the underlying video and check it's stamp.

I was appalled to find that the exported movie didn't reflect the newly edited date value! Amazing. I had tried early on to then EXPORT the modified movie OUT of Photos, in an effort to find out what tag Photos was really using. I found the web page and I'm going to read up on your script:

I feel like I remember 'creation date' support forever in Mac OS X and Unix (BSD, System V), and what I'm reading may be suggesting that it's just Linux that chose not to implement it because it wasn't required by POSIX? Anyway, it seems basic, and I'm a bit appalled that it was ever not standard everywhere even though, for movie tagging and this thread, it's not really something we want it using anyway -)Īha, now we're on the same page! Thanks. Also, I did reading up on Birth date the other day when you first mentioned it since I didn't remember it at all in spite of being around unix for decades. I just assumed what looked like the long form would have everything. Yea, I figured at least your Photos use was on the Mac, but I thought maybe you were 'Unixing around' on some other system -)Īha, good catch. Quote from: Hayo Baan on December 16, 2016, 02:41:24 AM The bad news, however, is that that change is not reflected in the file, only in the Photos database. Note: I played with Photos a little bit (man, what a piece of junk.) and I found out you can actually change the date of a movie. Over the weekend I will have a look at tweaking my matchdatetime script to cater for adjusting this tag. On 10.12 it looks as if Photos behaves different and seems to be using the (und-US) date indeed. My guess is that to keep things compatible with older versions, the output does not show the birth date (birth date is a relative new thing and not all file systems support it). Note: don't use stat -x as it will NOT give you the birth time. Yesterday when I tested things for you, I did everything on a 10.11 system, I'm now repeating some of the tests on a 10.12 system and the results are slightly different. I'm on Mac too (Photos is a Mac only application so I figured you'd be on Mac too ).
