I've brought several gigs of photos into iPhoto (version 9.5.1, running on Mavericks) from PC. The dates shown in iPhoto are incorrect. But each file was named with the following convention:
20040228 - My First Game of Rugby
The first 8 characters always follows the format YYYYMMDD.
Is there a way to change the photos' dates in iPhoto based on that 8-digit prefix?
Thanks!
no
Your options are the adjust date/time command and the batch change date/time commands - there is no option to use text from the file name as a date
and note that these are tiny photos (640x480) only suitable for displaying as small images on your Mac

Maybe I should have been clearer: I realize that there's nothing within iPhoto itself that will allow me to do this. I'm wondering if there would be a third-party application or a script that someone has developed that would do what I'm looking for.
And yes, I realize that 640x480 is small. That's all the camera we owned way-back-when was capable of.
