Preserve original creation date when using PNGQuant - GH Link
Adds date preservation to the popular PNG QUANT compression algorithm when running on a mac.
Keeping creation dates is important to me and it is annoying that when PNG Quant is run it strips out creation date meta.
I just have a folder I save screenshots to and then I set the Config file of this script to the path of that folder and then I manually run this script at the end of each day to compress the files I've save as I review them and see which I need and which I can delete.
I should use Alfred or some automatter to improve this.
I did this quickly to work for me on my Mac but could be extended to work for more people in various environments. Not sure whether suing Stet or Touch is more universal ... would need to look into this and test.
Something broke with SetFile command after upgrading to Ventura. The error I got is as follows:
me@mymachine ~ % SetFile
xcrun: error: invalid active developer path (/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools), missing xcrun at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcr
Solved by doing the following.
- Completely remove command line tools using this kind of dangerous method:
sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools - Reinstall it -
sudo xcode-select --installOther standard ways to uninstall and reinstall did not work.
