Subject: RE: [Nature Recordists] creation date when transferring
When I transfer the files to a PC I set Windows explorer to show the "date
modifies" rather than the "date created". The modified date is the date (and
time) when the file was originally written to the disk (actually the
date/time when the file was closed), which happens to be the time the
recording starts plus the duration of the file.

Yes, its definitely makes long-term identification of the files more
involved. Doesn't this happen with any sound file that does not yet
have a waveform generated, not the SD's? With Logic Pro, the
creation date is changed when the resource fork for the wave form
(graphic) is created.
There could very well be a better work-around, but my solution has
been to display the folder with the 774T files in a browser window
(before they are imported) and then copy and paste this text data
into my archive records so they creation dates can be correlated to
the file names if necessary. I also take a screen-shot of the
un-touched files showing size, creation date (time that a file was
closed out) and file type info and cut that photo in as well.
I haven't had much luck with the bwav format file loading usefully
into v7.2 logic so I've stuck with generic .wav's. Maybe the resource
fork is written differently with bwav and the creation date would
survive the waveform addition? Rob D.
