In case this is useful to you... it is a little script that sets the modification time of a JPEG to its EXIF time (which would then give you the date you seem to want in your file manager). If you save it to a file called "set-photo-time" and give it execute perms, then you can run it as follows: set-photo-time file1.jpg file2.jpg file3.jpg file4.jpg ... It requires the "exif" program, which you may or may not already have installed. It works for me, but use at your own risk.
Another alternative I wrote several years ago:

Although looking at that, it's been up-rev'ed, so attaching the last version, but do read its comments in the code before running.
