Re: Date keyed into IPTC refused

<r>Norm,  It isn't a function of the keyboard, it is a function of the operating system.  A third party keyboard would not make any difference.You need to go to the System Preferences, select Language & Text, and make sure "Show Input menu in menu bar" is not checked and the only "Input method" ...

Re: Date keyed into IPTC refused

<r>FWIW, I'm using GC 8.2 (964) and entering a date in that place/method works fine for me.  I tried several different formats.Then I thought perhaps the keyboard input mode was causing the problem you report, possibly due to multi-lingual settings.  I turned on that option and now I get the error m...

Re: Set date based on EXIF does not work pre year 1970

<r>I completely agree: whatever functionality is needed WRT image dates should be separate and distinct from how the operating system keeps dates of objects it creates and manages within its filesystem.Having spent far too much time looking into the file date issues, I note the following in the Mac ...

Re: Set date based on EXIF does not work pre year 1970

<r>My guess would be some ambiguity about signed versus unsigned integers used to represent "date/time" values.  If an unsigned 32 bit integer is used, then the latest date in can represent is Sun Feb  7 06:28:15 UTC 2106.  If a 32 bit signed integer is used, then the latest date becomes Tue Jan 19 ...

Re: Creation Date gets written over between Camera and Browse mode

<t>Well, the file creation date is the date the file was created.  It has nothing to do with the date the photo was taken.If your batch convert script saves the converted image to a new file then that will be the creation date.  It is the Mac OS that is setting it because that's the date/time that t...

Re: [ANN] GraphicConverter 8.1 (Build 890)

<r>I got the same message and also got it with the previous production release (861).        A direct download works fine.  I wonder why the signature fails??

Re: AppleScript for kicking off batch process on folder?

<r>An historical note, FWIW.  Those of you born before 1970 might recall the Unix "cron" feature by which one could schedule batch jobs to run at defined intervals.  One of the things we learned early on was to never schedule something to run between 1 AM and 2 AM, at least not on a Sunday.  Once a ...

Re: Background image for folder window

<t>And of course if the viewer changes the size of the Finder window, white space won't keep the image centered and in fact the image would be cropped if the window gets smaller.Apple would have to build in an "auto-size / auto-center" function which seems of little real world use.
