Some jpg photo's in an album were made with a false date. As the program I am working with sorts after date I would like to know how to alter the date of the file to a date of my choice.

I did a fast man touch and there is an option on the command -d= to set the date to one of your choosing. Mike

You don't mention *which* date you want to change.... the date on the .jpg file itself or possibly the exif information within the file. jhead would be a program to manipulate the exif information within the file. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
