Use embeded IPTC creation time instead ?
Authored by: androse on Apr 03, '03 04:59:38AM

This is a good simple idea, but why not use the embeded IPTC infomation of the images themselves for the creation date for example. That way you get the date of the actual shooting, not the date of the transfer to the Mac.

I don't know if or how you can do it in Python, but in PHP you can use the iptcparse() function etc.

Time to learn Python :)

This is a pretty good idea! AFAIK there is an IPTC parser in Python Image Library, but that makes the script dependent on a nondefault module; PIL is not a part of the Jaguar python distro and should be downloaded/copiled/installed separately.
