Paul,
Thanks for info.
For my Sound Devices files, and also Olympus files, I just get two
dashes (--) for 'Date Created' when I check Command-I, for any one
individual file. I can now get that extra column you mention when I
open a folder, but the 'date created' shows up as 1st January 1904
for all of the files. (Might be interesting if it really was 1904,
but it ain't!)
cheers,
Vicki
