Hello,

I'm just wondering if there is a way to change the value of variables for a file. I looked at the help and it looks like only meta data tags can be edited. Is that correct or did I miss something?
I like to change the file created date {File.Created} for some files, not the exif or xmp values.

Thanks,

Heiner

You cannot change the value of variables. Variables don't store anything - they are just a flexible and powerful way to access data stored in the database or the metadata in your files.

The variable {File.DateTime} is created from the corresponding EXIF/XMP timestamps ("Date Subject Created" in the Metadata Panel). When you change that, the variable will also reflect that change.,
