Use a program such as PIE to view the file - it will put the file date and time in the corner of the image if you press F1 (F1 IIRC). http://www.picmeta.com/products/picture-information-extractor.htm Cheers, David

It is pretty easy to tell the date, I keep my files modified date matching the exif date. If I want the date on the photo then I use IrfanView, which can batch process a lot of photos at one time. From time to time we get someone wanting to know how to remove the date from a photo, this is not so easy, what is easy is adding the date to a photo. Also if you add the date/time to the photo you can control how and where it is added, the size font, color etc. Scott

I suggest that you make a list of your imperative requirements and check before getting your next camera that it does what you want. -- Chris Malcolm
