That sounds like a good clue, thanks! I also just figured out that I can set the preferences for my photo folders to show the "Date Created" field in a column along with (or instead of) the "date modified" field. "Date Created" doesn't change, so that's a relatively painless solution. I'll see if I can figure out what's being changed in the files, though, just for the fun of it. -Charles -- Charles Robinson - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
