[QUOTE="MFKlind, post: 1929190, member: 413708"] My apologies for not being more clear. I'm having no problem changing the Title. I want to change dates that are part of the filename that was imported. All of my photo files are named similar to this: 1963-11-23 ~Ken ~1.jpg. Many of these photos were scanned a long time ago and after scanning dates were added to the filename as the scanned photos did not include a proper creation date. Also, in a few cases the name portion of the filename is the wrong person... Another reason to wish to change the filename. My Applescript can detect and display the original photo filename as part of the Photos filename. It will return something like this: get filename of media item id "EA328B82-FF85-4CDB-B7A2-0BEEB113BF1C/L0/001" --> "1916-01-01 ~Edgar Thompson, Bessie Thompson & Friends ~1.jpg" And it will state that the filename is changed, but when I look at the photo info (Command-i) the name will not be changed. The data I want to change is depicted on the second line of the image below. I am having no problems changing data on the first or third lines. [ATTACH type="full"]38110[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
