    Solved Irfanview changed 9000 of my image files

    I just created an html page of thumbnails for one of my folders. Irfanview ended up changing all of the files. All of the Windows XP Comments have been erased, and all of the "modified" dates of the files have been changed (I depended on this date for many functions).

    I don't think something as simple as creating an html page should cause any changes to the original files.

    I've got a ton of work ahead of me to return things to where they were.

    Creating an HTML file does not change your original files, it copies them (if you use the recommended settings).

      My apologies. What I was seeing was the thumbnail images that irfanview created during the process. I failed to notice the "-t" at the end of the filename. Of course the thumbnails would be missing the comments and have all the same creation dates.

      My face is red.
