<br>Doesn't exif search in KPA know how to do this?<br><br>If not, what'd happen if you use bash & exiftool to symlink all large<br>images to a single folder, then open that folder with KPA, tag them as<br>'large', then save and remove symlinks?<br>

The EXIF dates are 2008 and the file date is 2005. The photos appear amidst the 2005 photos. I tried jhead -ft (which is supposed to change the file date to the EXIF date) but it actually
changed the EXIF date to the file date instead. -- Murray</div><div><br></div></td></tr></tbody></table></blockquote><div><br></div></div></div><div>Luckily you had backups, right..?</div><div><br></div><div><br></div>
