iPhoto/AppleScript date field inconsistencies
20 Jan, 2004
If you're doing any parsing on the 'image_date' field as grabbed by AppleScript, beware.I just noticed a strange thing about the iPhoto 2.0 date/time field - if you don't touch the date set by iPhoto on import, AppleScript will read the date in the format 'YYYY:MM:DD HH:MM:SS'.
If you go in and tweak the date manually, however, AppleScript reads the date in the format 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS -XXXX' where XXXX is the GMT offset. (note the hyphens between Y/M/D, compared to the colons above.)
So, if you're doing any parsing on the 'image_date' field as grabbed by AppleScript, this will probably give you grief.
