Time Stamp Modifier for JPEG FilesTime Stamp Modifier for JPEG FilesThe program enables to set the file time stamp (i.e. Date and time)from the EXIF date/time and also enables to shift the time stampof multiple files.What is this useful for?For synchronizing time stamps of files from multiple digital cameras.Why should I synchronize file time stamps?O.K., let's start with a story.With a group of our friends we usually rent a big chalet for one week holidays.Last year we have found a beautiful one, in mountains, far away from the nearestvillage. This is not important for our story; important is the fact thatwe had there two digital cameras and made a lot of snaps while enjoying thetravels in the nature.After the holidays I got a task to put images from both digital cameras toa CD and copy it for all friends.

So I have put the images from both camerasto single folder, set ascending sorting by date/time in my old-but-still-goodACDSee 3.0 and enjoyed viewing the photos - sorted by time stamp they fittedtogether wonderfully, like a LEGO.However, as I have found later, this was only an exceptional case. Next timeI had to put together snaps from a wedding; that time I got CDs with snapsfrom four cameras.

But unfortunately simple sorting by time stamp did not workthis time. The program is pretty simple. It enables to get the time from the EXIF info(stored inside by the JPEG file)and set it as the time of the file. This is useful for fixing the case (1).It also enables to select multiple files in a list and shift their date/time by atime slice - by single click you can increase/decrease seconds, minutes, hours,days, months or years. This is useful tool for cases (2) and (3).Unfortunately for the case (4) there is no other solution, than to estimatesomehow, when the snap was actually made and then set this time manually. Thisprogram at least makes this task more comfortable.How to use the programBefore merging the snaps from different cameras into a single folder, it is betterto leave them for the moment in separate folders, i.e. Snaps from each camera inits own folder.Fixing the case (1).Select the folder by the ' Select folder' button and sort the files by filedate/time by clicking in the header of the Original time column.Investigate the files at the end - usually the wrong date/time is laterthan the correct one.If you find such files there, select them and press the ' Set time from EXIF' button.If the files contain EXIF information in proper format, you will see new date/timeappearing in the right column.
