I second Alex's suggestion to add the dates yourself however I'd suggest
using Phatch ( Photo batch editor - http://photobatch.stani.be/ ) as a
simpler GUI method, it's likely in your repo. I use it alot for
resizing, tagging and otherwise fiddling with batches of images, set it
to place the modified images into a different directory, by default I
think it creates a sub directory inside the one holding the images to be
modified.
Use the "text" action and select to use the date from the Exif info and
that should do what you're after, make sure to add a file save action at
the end of your action list ( although Phatch will prompt you if you
forget ).
Regards,
Adrian

Hi folks
Just looking for some quick advice.
1) Do people on this list use the wireless router supplied by their ISP?
1a) If no, what do you use and why?
2) If you use a non-ISP supplied wireless router, do you use an
alternate firmware? and what did you choose and why?
3) Any suggestions on software to test wireless network setup and
performance?
4) For those of you on the list who live in older (i.e.
Victorian/Edwardian) properties; do you use more than 1 access point /
router provide coverage throughout your house.
4a) if yes, do you use powerline adapters with built in wireless point
to extend coverage?
4b) if no, where do you place your router? and did you change the
antennas or alter settings to improve speed and/or coverage?
Thanks for the info.

Hello David,
1) no , it was unreliable
2) standard firmware but a more capable model
3) Just looking at signal levels on devices
4) placement is very house dependent , powerline is great and gives
much flexibility
Cheers

It was and I installed it!
Had a little "play" and I need to learn how to use it!
I did an action selected an image but could not seem to find how to
actually make the conversion. I suppose I will have to RTFM!!
I use it alot for

ddwrt has diagnostic screens to show errors, and throughput on interfaces.
Site has guides on RF interference like
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Wireless_Packet_Info_-_RX/TX_Errors
and

Yes, and use Ethernet to link them together, also worth putting Ethernet
for desktop computers, TV etc

No dont use, they spew out lots of stray RF. Installing UTP is not hard,
either drill a hole to the outside wall run along the outside and back in
to the connection point. I use standard socket box with a RJ45 connection
plate. Or run under floorboards, behind skirting boards, under carpets, the
channel between the gripper strip and the wall is invisible when the carpet
is back down.
