If you need further support in this, say so.

Thanks... that was easy!!

Just to satisfy my curiosity: why didn't the selectitems function in the script work like I thought?

and to satisfy yet to be realised needs: are there plans to support EXIF metadata in the interface?

$a = get("SelectedItemsPathNames", "|");
foreach($item,$a,"|") {
if($item == "") {break; }
selectitems $item , 0 , 0;
timestamp m c , <dateexif> , $item;
}

• Change the focus & selection with selectitems:

  Code: Select all

  // Replace
  selectitems $item, 0, 0;
  // with
  selectitems $item, 0, 1;

• Instead of using "selectitems" and "<dateexif>" you could retrieve the EXIF data using:

  Code: Select all

  Property("WhenTaken", $item); //Correct property name depends on OS & Language

  This is nice because you can use it without changing the current selection/focus, but I'm not 100% sure if this will give you a date format that can be used by "timestamp" directly.
• EDIT: You could also take a more complex approach and instead of using Get("SelectedItemPathNames") to retrieve the current selection - use Report("{Fullpath}|{WhenTaken}<crlf>", 1); to retrieve both the paths and the EXIF data at once, and loop over the lines and use GetToken for the fields. However, according to the help this may not work after XP.

I admire the tight logic of your scripting.

But #1074; has none.

It has a "success" feedback, but this is not meant by "requester" I think.
