Hi,

Is there a way to list the file properties using the DIR command?

I have a folder with photos and in the explorer the folder displays the photo taken date. However for the same folder in DOS prompt, the date I am getting is last modified. Anyway I can get the details list out?

thanks.

Type Dir /?. This will list all the switches you can use with the DIR command
 
You can change what explorer lists. Change the view to the detail view and then choose what to display using view>details.

You can change what the dir displays with switches. Type dir /? for a list of options.

However,

The 'picture taken' date comes from the exif data inside the jpg. Dir does not look inside the file so it is not possible to list this value using dir. The picture taken date is not necessarily the same as the file created date, although it often is.
