Content Creation Date Folders

Hi All!

I am very new to scripting and wanted to create a script to take a set of images and put them in separate folders based off of their date. I searched around and found the following script that works exactly how I need it to. The only problem is that it puts them in folders based on the CREATION date not the CONTENT creation date or actual date of capture. The images go to a separate outside retoucher and when she sends me back the images and I download them the creation date changes to the current date and I need the folders to be the actual capture date.

on run {input, parameters} -- create folders and move
	
	(*

make new folders from file creation dates (if needed), then move document files into their respective new folders

if no container is specified (missing value), the new folder will be created in the containing folder of the item

if the container is not a valid path (and not missing value), one will be asked for

input: a list of Finder items (aliases) to move

output: a list of the Finder items (aliases) moved

*)
	
	
	
	set output to {}
	
	set SkippedItems to {} -- this will be a list of skipped items (errors)
	
	set TheContainer to "" -- a Finder path to a destination folder, or missing value for the source folder
	
	
	
	if TheContainer is not missing value then try -- check the destination path
		
		TheContainer as alias
		
	on error
		
		set TheContainer to (choose folder with prompt "Where do you want to move the items?")
		
	end try
	
	
	
	tell application "Finder" to repeat with AnItem in the input -- step through each item in the input
		
		if TheContainer is not missing value then -- move to the specified folder
			
			set {class:TheClass, name:TheName, name extension:TheExtension} to item AnItem
			
		else -- move to the source folder
			
			set {class:TheClass, name:TheName, name extension:TheExtension, container:TheContainer} to item AnItem
			
		end if
		
		if TheClass is document file then try -- just documents
			
			set TheDate to text 1 thru 10 of (creation date of AnItem as «class isot» as string) -- YY_MM_DD
			
			try -- check if the target folder exists
				
				get ("" & TheContainer & TheDate) as alias
				
			on error -- make a new folder
				
				make new folder at TheContainer with properties {name:TheDate}
				
			end try
			
			-- duplicate AnItem to the result
			
			move AnItem to the result
			
			set the end of output to (result as alias) -- the new file alias
			
		on error -- permissions, etc
			
			-- set the end of SkippedItems to (AnItem as text) -- the full path
			
			set the end of SkippedItems to TheName -- just the name
			
		end try
		
	end repeat
	
	
	
	ShowSkippedAlert for SkippedItems
	
	return the output -- pass the result(s) to the next action
	
end run





to ShowSkippedAlert for SkippedItems
	
	(*

show an alert dialog for any items skipped, with the option to cancel the workflow

parameters - SkippedItems [list]: the items skipped

returns nothing

*)
	
	if SkippedItems is not {} then
		
		set {AlertText, TheCount} to {"Error with AppleScript action", count SkippedItems}
		
		if TheCount is greater than 1 then
			
			set theMessage to (TheCount as text) & space & " items were skipped:"
			
		else
			
			set theMessage to "1 " & " item was skipped:"
			
		end if
		
		set {TempTID, AppleScript's text item delimiters} to {AppleScript's text item delimiters, return}
		
		set {SkippedItems, AppleScript's text item delimiters} to {SkippedItems as text, TempTID}
		
		
	end if
	
	return
	
end ShowSkippedAlert

I understand this is a little more difficult because you have to look at the metadata of the image but if anyone can help I would be more than appreciative! Also if you have anymore questions or need anymore information just let me know.

Thank you so much!
