I need help!
A few months ago, I made perhaps a fatal mistake in anticipation of the new Photos App. I ran all of my photos through Img Optim, a program that strips unneeded metadata to save space. It's a marvelous app for Mac but I think I may have not thought it through completely. Img Optim also strips the created date of the images.
Prior to running them all through Img Optim, I organized all of my images by the created date and labeled all of the images IMG_2003_01, IMG_2003_02, etc. Then ran them through the program. So, while the metadata now shows the created date as being the day they were modified in the program, they are at least in order of the date the image was taken.
So now, here I am with this awesome new Photos for Mac app that I'm stoked about using. However, when I import the images into Photos for Mac it shows the created date from back in January of this year. I know how to modify Image->Adjust Date & Time. Unfortunately, I have to know the date or just pick some ancillary date.
Very long story short (sorry) I would like to use only the YEAR for the date created and then have Photos for Mac sort by the file name (e.g. IMG_2003_01, IMG_2003_02, etc).
