An AppleScript droplet to change the creation date
Authored by: Dougist on Feb 12, '09 04:01:18AM

Ummm...Not sure what the last few posts are about. The script(s) both work for me in changing the Created Date on RTF/RTFD/PDFs and folders. I did not try them on image files.

The first shorter script will also changes the creation date of folders. The second, longer script only changes the dates of files and will not change a folder date.

(To change a folder date drop the empty folder on the droplet)

Thanks very much for the scripts. They are much more affordable than a $30 utility.

Anyone care to modify them to run as scripts against selected files rather than as droplets, and perhaps combining the capability to change dates on folders of the first script with the more elegant coding of the second one?
