Hello anyone,

I have written a script that organizes my ten thousand+  photos into a  
year/month file structure using 'exifr' while eliminating duplicates.   
Unfortunately some of the dates in the 'EXIF' block are bad or non  
existing.  In the latter case, the file's creation date is the closest  
I can come to as a date to use for the photograph, and even that is  
sometimes flawed.  However, I cannot find a method for retrieving the  
creation date of a file.  The file class has 'atime', last access  
time, and 'ctime', lst changed time.  I have googled and googled but  
can't find a way.  Can anyone help?

Thanks ahead of time.

Pete
