File date metadata not displaying properly

Question

I have been trying to write a Powershell script based on some code online that will read the metadata info from picture, video and other files and then sort them based on on

Answer 1

When I run your code, $objFolder.GetDetailsOf($objFolder.Items().Item(0), 12) I get an empty string. I even changed the item number and the folder I was looking in to make sure I was getting a file object.

However if I do this:

$objShell = New-Object -ComObject Shell.Application
$objFolder = $objShell.namespace("C:\Temp")
$date = $objFolder.Items().Item(3).ModifyDate

I get a value that is already a DateTime object.

(the code above uses my folder and item index)
