Fix your photo date and time stamps to match the EXIF data

I resized a bunch of photos this week for syncing to an iPad that had limited storage.  When I synced them it was obvious I lost the date stamps.  Luckily I found this gem of a utility that can recursively go down all your directories and fix the date and time stamps to match the EXIF data.  I was shocked how fast it was.  It does a bunch of other options also, so it’s worth reading the usage page. 

For my needs this is the command line I used:  jhead –ft **\*.jpg

FYI it won't update any date stamp prior to 1970.  It's coded using Unix standards.  Unix only allows date stamps >=1970.
