Hello, I’m using the most recent versions of windows10 and Jaws2023. Is there a way to get the date of when a picture was taken? I did use f10 and properties and there wasn’t anything related to the picture date.

Thanks,

Kevin

And if it's a photo you took (or someone else took and gave to you) it's the Modified Date that is going to tell you when it was actually taken.  If it's uploaded from the camera after that, the created date on the computer will be more recent than the modified date (which was also the created date on the device that took it).

Hi Kevin,

Once in properties, route jaws cursor to pc cursor. Then use jaws cursor to read the dates and times. This is with the picture closed and application key or shift f10 and arrow to properties.

Hey.

Are you using file explorer to look at the properties? There should be a “created” and “date modified” field there. Note that if you’ve copied the file from another drive somewhere, the “date created” will actually be the date the new file was created, so the modified date will probably be more helpful.

Hi, I was using the application key strokes and then selected properties. Brian told me about using the modified date for when the picture was taken. There are times created date shows up. Is there any reason for this date to show up and not the modified. I know about when the picture was taken and the create date has a recent date.

The filename itself has a name like 123_219230_1029.jpg and that tells nobody anything about anything.

I suggest you look at those filenames more carefully.  I haven't seen a device that doesn't include what amounts to a date-time stamp in its photo file naming convention in ages now (and that's whether we're talking phone or dedicated camera).

As an example, a file from my smartphone:  IMG_20210902_143009.jpg.   That photo was taken on September 10, 2021 at 2:30:09 PM.

I actually rename my folders when images get uploaded so that I have some idea at a much later time about what the content is in the folder, but the amount of time that would take for individual images, were I to do all of them, is something I don't have to invest.  I do rename a few, though, if I intend to send them to others so that the file name will be meaningful beyond date-time stamp, but I generally include at least the date stamp at the front of the file name, e.g., 2022-03-07_Grand_Canyon_Vista.jpg.
