The present version of Name Mangler can only rename actual filenames, not any data associated with the files.

I own a couple of trail cameras which capture video clips in Win avi format. I use VidConvert to convert the clips to mov format for processing by iMovie. Unfortunately, VidConvert does not preserve the creation data-time for the clips. Can NameMangler be used to change the creation date-time for a file?

VidConvert does name the output file clip with the same name as the original clip but with a different suffix. What I would like to do is match names between avi and mov clip and then fix the creation date-time for the mov clip.

Thanks for any insights you can provide.
