Move / Copy Fields
« on: January 21, 2013, 11:54:30 pm »
I am trying to copy a JPG's "Date Modified" field to the "Date" field using the "Move / Copy Fields" library tools function.

However, I cannot get it to work. The "Date" fields clears and the "Date Modified" field turns to random digits. Can anyone else get this to work?

This is occurring because the values are being copied as interpreted values vs. internal values.

Use this format in a cell or tag action window.  Select the files you want, and edit the Date field, and copy/paste the following:

    =[date modified,0]

I've posted an enhancement request about this to the JRiver folks.

Thank you! That expression works, but it would be nice if the Move/Copy function "just worked" (this problem is prevalent with copying other fields as well). Thanks for putting in an enhancement request.
