Is it possible to list metadata changes made within a range of dates? Such as, the previous 2 days?

Phil Harvey

In general, no.

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

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).

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.

Phil Harvey

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