9 This is getting "curiouser and curiouser". I should have done this
10 sooner. I assumed that the datestamp and EXIF data would be the same.
11 But checking "properties" with gqview shows the EXIF date data is
12 correct, with the file datestamp being out to lunch...

20 Given this info, I can cobble together a short script. A "for" loop
21 cycles through "*.jpg". Read "CreateDate" from the EXIF data, and feed
22 it into the "touch" command, which would reset the physical file
23 datestamp.
