I have been given a very nice Ipod Touch for Christmas (isn't my wife great) and I have spent some time playing around with it and it is a fantastic little toy.

I have a small problem with photos. I use Lightroom on a Mac with OS X Leopard and have 15,000 or so RAW photos and want to get a selection of the best recent ones on the I-Pod.

I exported all the 4 star and above shots taken this year as a JPEG with a max resolution of 1000x1000 to a directory and pointed i-tunes to only sync the photos in that directory.

The problem is that the file date becomes the date that I exported the photo and not the date the photo was taken. So on the i-pod they are displayed a bit randomly.

Has anybody got any ideas on how I can get the creation date as the file date when I export the photos from Lightroom? or is there a completely different and better way of getting what I want?

Oh and Merry Christmas!
 
Haven't a clue old bean but I trust you and your family had a wonderful Christmas, yes?:thumbs:
 

I'll have a go at that. It's so sad, 15 years ago I did a degree in Electronic Engineering and now anything which involves the command prompt rather than a nice graphical interface scares me off....


Hi Anton. Christmas was very good, healthy happy (and somewhat spoilt) kids!

Great to hear you had a good time Peter!

May you all have a good rest and a wonderful 2008!
