I know that this is not a solution, but maybe this can help to some of you. I found a script to set the modified date using the EXIF data from videos and pics. http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/89264/change-created-date-from-exif-data
I made some changes to the script (the original one didn't work for me). First install this package: libimage-exiftool-perl sudo apt install libimage-exiftool-perl Then create a script with this code (don't forget to set executable permissions): #!/bin/sh for i in /path/to/folder/with/pics/*; do SPEC=`exiftool -t -S -d "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S" -CreateDate "$i"` echo $SPEC echo "$i:$DATE" touch -d "$SPEC" "$i" done This will change all the modified dates from all files on /path/to/folder/with/pics/ with the one on the EXIF metadata information. This is not a workaround, thi is just a fix for some kind of files. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1175947 Title: gvfs-copy --preserve doesn't work with MTP devices To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/1175947/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
