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.

Maybe there's a script someplace that
will overright modified date with creation date. Not a thing everyone
would want to do, but useful in a variety of circumstances.

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.
