Hi,
maybe I miss something, but the quite complicated changeCreationDate() handler can be replaced with this simpler version:

on changeCreationDate(fileList)
	repeat with oneItem in fileList
		if folder of (info for oneItem without size) is false then
			tell application "Finder" to set modification date of oneItem to creation date of oneItem
			set logMsg to ("Changed creation date of file '" & oneItem as string) & "' to " & result as string
			logConsole("changeCreationDate", logMsg)
		end if
	end repeat
end changeCreationDate

I HATE the new iPhoto!

I am a huge fan of film rolls, and while events are essentially (not exactly) the same thing, they have changed too much for my liking.

My major complaint is that the spacing between photos is now HUGE so even when minimised each event/roll takes up way more space than it used to (in "Photos" view).

The fonts are different - and larger. Again, more wasted space.

The events (in "Photos" view) no longer list the description under their name when the little arrow is pointing to the right. I really really liked this feature of film rolls - it gave each roll a personality aside from the title of the roll.

It is dog slow compared to iPhoto 06, which ran great (12 000+ photos).

Films rolls are a much nicer way of seeing lots of photos at once.

I'm very upset by this update, but I'll give it a shot. I'm sad there is so much wasted screen estate though. Very, very sad.

According to the Finder applescript dictionary, the creation date is read only (r/o). Take a look at jhead, which is command line utility with lots of promise. you can use this with applescript by using 'do shell script'.
