I can get the modification date using javascript but this can change I’d like to be able to get the creation date to track files.

Anyone know how it’s done?

Thanks

I took your: GetFileInfo -d “/Users/Tim_Lloyd/Desktop/blarg.txt”

and made it: GetFileInfo -d “/Users/johnburton/Desktop/iron.tiff”

nothing.

Any ideas?

Do you have the Apple developer tools installed? That’s the only thing I can think of. If you try it from Terminal by

cd Desktop
GetFileInfo -d iron.tiff

and it still doesn’t work, then that’s got to be the reason! You can install them from the disk you got with your comp via the XCode installer.
