    Hi everyone,

    I am in the process of organizing my digital pics I have taken and I have noticed that some of the timestamps of the JPG files do not match with the date I took the pic. I must have copied them without making sure to preserve this timestamp. So, this is what I am looking for: a program that can run in batch mode and change the file timestamp to the timestamp in the JPGs EXIF data. Does anyone out there have any suggestions?

    XnView. Select the files, Tools > Change timestamp.

    Thanks for the tip. I am already using IrfanView and after a little searching it also supports this feature.

    I have also just noticed that some of my pics are messed up and the EXIF date is set to 00/00/00 00:00:00. Now I just need to figure out how to change this. Any suggestions? Is there an EXIF editor out there?
