Hello all,
I would like to change an image without loosing its creation date. I succeeded
to do this as long as the path name has no space. But I cannot guarantee
space-free path names.
The following macro creates an image, saves it, and then sets its date to year
= 1999.
However, in the second run, it fails because the path contains a space.
Instead, a file called "AB" with zero bytes is created.
How can I handle path names that contain a space?
I tried this on MacOS.
Best regards,
Norbert
//===================
print("\\Clear");
close("ABC*");
close("AB C*");
for(n=1; n<=2; n++){
if(n==1)
title = "ABC.jpg";//without space
if(n==2)
title = "AB C.jpg";//with space
print("title=", title);
newImage(title, "8-bit ramp", 400, 200, 1);
path = getDir("temp") + title;
saveAs("Jpeg", path);
date1 = File.dateLastModified(path);
print("date1=", date1);
exec('touch -t 199911092233 ' + path);
date2 = File.dateLastModified(path);
print("date2=", date2);
}
selectWindow("Log");
run("temp"); //show in Finder
//===================
output:
title= ABC.jpg
date1= Fri Mar 29 20:36:37 CET 2024
date2= Tue Nov 09 22:33:00 CET 1999
title= AB C.jpg
date1= Fri Mar 29 20:36:37 CET 2024
date2= Fri Mar 29 20:36:37 CET 2024
