Title: Find images modified in date range
Post by: justmike on October 19, 2015, 05:39:35 PM
Is it possible to list metadata changes made within a range of dates? Such as, the previous 2 days?

In general, no.

This would require a complete metadata edit history to be stored in the file.

I apologize—I meant to specify the search would list files in a directory with metadata changes that have been made in the past two days, not changes in the past two days to one particular file.

In general, no.  Perhaps the system FileModifyDate is the best way to determine this.  Most metadata editors won't update the EXIF ModifyDate.
