This may be a Windows issue rather than Opus, but hopefully someone can explain things to me. I have sometimes found myself puzzled by the way files are dated. Files have various dates recorded. The two of most interest to me are date created and date modified. However it seems that a file is consi…

[image] imcandrew: a file is considered to be modified when it is moved from one folder to another I don't think it is, at least not by Opus or FE. You are not confusing modified with accessed, are you?

[image] imcandrew: However it seems that a file is considered to be modified when it is moved from one folder to another. It depends on how the files are moved, and if they are on the same drive. Moves on the same drive are usually done via a rename, which would not change the modified times…

imcandrew, I recommend you use the 'Date Taken' field/column to display the date the photo was taken. If the photo has an Exif DateTimeOriginal, that is the date that will be displayed in the Date Taken field. If the photo has no Date Taken in DOpus, I do not recommend entering a date in the DOpus…
