Question Sorting photos and videos by their creation dates
Hi. Is there anywhere on my fedora 8 box (command line or otherwise) that I can sort my photos and videos by the dates they were taken by my Cannon MV106? With hexedit I can see the following lines, but I can't sort by it.

Code:
0000032C   00 00 00 00  00 00 00 00  00 00 00 00  00 00 00 00  00 00 00 00  00 00 00 00  49 44 49 54  ........................IDIT

I need to sort by the creation date in order to splice my photos with my videos in a time-wise fashion.

Hi,

You could try renaming your files with jhead.
Code:
su -
yum install jhead
I've never used it myself, but it looks promising. Here's a link. Hope it helps.

Edit: I've just installed jhead and tested it - and it works like a charm. I used jhead -n%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M:%S *.jpg to rename some pictures that I took with my cellphone. Take a look at man jhead for more information. It only works with JPEGs, though.
