Shouldn't line 2 be "convert Datum from seconds to long date"? Does it
work if you change that line?

With "from seconds to long date" I get the same results as with "dateitems", namely March 15 for item 4 of the detailed files - which is the "transfer" date, i.e. *not* the creation date that is part of the EXIF information.

Same for item 5, "May 19", and "March 4" who could indeed be construed as modification dates.

But then, it seems there is no reliable procedure to get at the creation dates when you use "the detailed files" - meaning the docs are not fully correct here.

Like with the EXIF image information in PaintshopPro, Alex Tweedly's "libEXIF" stack correctly returns the creation dates of the same images in question, i.e. the very same images at the same place which return "transfer" dates when you use "the detailed files" I will take a closer look at Alex's stack to see whether part of the functions could be incorporated into my "thumbs" stack to display reliable creation.data, depending, of course, on Alex's agreement.
