New in BulkFileChanger 1.72 (Jan 7, 2021)
- Added 'Photo - Date Taken' option to set the date/time when the photo was taken. This feature is similar to the 'EXIF - Generated Time' option, but it uses the Property System of Windows, which may work better in some situations. For example: The 'Photo - Date Taken' option will set the photo date/time even if the original .jpg file doesn't contain EXIF information.

- BulkFileChanger now allows you to change the date/time values stored inside EXIF data of .jpg files.
- You can change 3 EXIF date/time values: Generated Time, Stored Time, and Modified Time.
- The most useful field to change is the 'Generated Time' (Also known as 'Date Taken'), because this field is displayed under the 'Date' column of Windows Explorer and also many applications use this value as official date/time of the picture.
- This feature works only when the date/time values already exist inside the .jpg files (BulkFileChanger cannot add new fields into the EXIF data).

New in BulkFileChanger 1.32 (Dec 17, 2013)

New in BulkFileChanger 1.31 (Nov 19, 2013)
- BulkFileChanger now displays file dates prior to 01/01/1980. In previous versions, BulkFileChanger didn't display these dates in order to be compatible with Windows Explorer...
New in BulkFileChanger 1.30 (Oct 21, 2013)
- BulkFileChanger now displays an error message if it fails to change the date/time/attributes of one or more files.
- Added 'Modified-Created Time Difference' column, which displays the time difference (in hours:minutes:seconds.milliseconds format) between the created time and the modified time of the file. This time difference might be interesting in some circumstances. For example: If you download a new file from the Internet, the file is created at the moment you start to download it, and its modified time is set to the time that the last byte was written to the file. This means that the created/modified time difference represents the duration of downloading process.
New in BulkFileChanger 1.25 (Jun 13, 2013)
- You can now specify environment variables (For example: %appdata%) in the folder path to scan ('Add By Wildcard' option).
New in BulkFileChanger 1.24 (Mar 27, 2013)
- Fixed bug: If you added files, and then removed them from the list, BulkFileChanger failed to add them again
New in BulkFileChanger 1.23 (Mar 10, 2013)
- Fixed issue: BulkFileChanger failed to copy EXIF properties from .jpg image to the created/modified/accessed time of the file, On Windows 7 and Windows 8. The problem is actually in the GDI+ library of Windows which from unknown reason fails to read these EXIF properties. So BulkFileChanger now reads the EXIF data directly instead of using the GDI+ library of Windows.
New in BulkFileChanger 1.22 (Jan 8, 2013)

New in BulkFileChanger 1.20 (Oct 29, 2011)
- Added 3 new options into 'Copy Time From': EXIF - Generated Time, EXIF Stored Time, and EXIF
- Modified Time. You can use these options to copy the date/time stored inside EXIF data of digital camera picture into the created/modified time of the file.
New in BulkFileChanger 1.15 (Aug 31, 2011)
- Added 'Date/time sequence mode' option. When it's turned on, BulkFileChanger will set a different date/time value for every file, and the 'Add' field will be used to add additional time interval for every file.
- For example, if you set the modified date/time to '07/07/2011 10:12:15' and the add value is set to 1 second, the modified time of the first file will be set the '07/07/2011 10:12:15', the second file will be set to '07/07/2011 10:12:16', the third file will be set to '07/07/2011 10:12:17', and so on...
- The order of the files is determined according to the column you click. So, if for example, you click the filename column and then use the 'Date/time sequence mode', the date/time values will be set according to the filename alphabetical order.
New in BulkFileChanger 1.10 (May 31, 2011)
- Added the option to copy from one date/time value to another. (For example, you can copy the modified time into the created time or the created time into the modified time and accessed time)
