Setting the Date/Time sequence of scanned slides

My apologogies. I tried to insert the text of my Post from the word document that i had prepared..... as a result, the whole formatting went lost and the Post is quite difficult to underastand. I will try now to format my text and then post again.

---------------------- trying again below ------

I need a tool or option in order to set the time/date of a series of scanned slide files into the date/time sequence of my choice (when browsing with the Organizer in "Thumbnail View" (I.e. in Date/time order).

Let me explain I have sent multiple thousands of old slides to a Scan shop.

For those slides that I had sent within slide-trays, I asked the scan shop for the following for the photo-files resulting from the scan:

1. That the name of the photo-files include a trailing number reflecting sequence as the slides within their trays.
2. That the scan timestamp sequence reflects the sequence  of the slides within their trays (this was and is important for me, in order to be able to browse within the PSE Organizer through the scan-result of one tray, in the same sequence as the slides within their trays; even when the resulting photo-files are not organized in a PSE Album; and even when being in “Thumbnail View” sequence).

Unfortunately, the scan shop forgot about this request and I can therefore not look (in Thumbnail View” mode) at the scan results in the same sequence as the slides within their trays

What can I now do to fix this problem?

I am looking for a Windows Tool (or a PSE Organizer Tool/plug-in) that will allow me to set the time of a series of Foto-Files in ascending time sequence. A tool that will for example

• allow me to select multiple foto files •
• then, allow allow me to specify the date/Time of the first photo-file within the selected files to the date/time of my choice
• and then add an increment of 1 or n seconds (or 1 or n minutes) to each one of the fotos that follows in the selected series.

Question: For a Windows 7 and PSE 8 environment are you aware of such a tool? (the scan shop told me, they are not aware of such a tool)

Two details:

1. When looking (before importing the foto files into the PSE Organizer) with Windows Explorer at a folder containing the scanned photo-files I can see the following: the foto files have both a “Date Created”  and a “Date Modified”. But they have not yet a “Date Shot”. I do not know, whether this can make it simpler to find a solution.
2. I tried without success, the following within the V8 Organizer,
   1. I displayed the photos in “Folder Location” view (in V8, this will show the foto-files of each folder in file-name sequence),
   2. while in Folder Location view, I selected all photos of one folder
   3. then, while still in Folder view I did “Adjust Date and Time of Selected items” --> “change to a specified date and time”.

It seems that all selected photos got (exactly?) the same time,

Unfortunately this did not work for me. Why that?

After the Time-Adjust, when switching from “Folder Location” view to “Thumbnail View”, the photos  of that folder were still in the desired sequence (that looked great and I was happy). After editing one of these photos (and when storing the edited result within a versionset) , the edited version of the photo was still in the desired sequence (this still looked great!). But surprise – surprise..., once I exited from the Organizer and then relaunched it, the Versionset containing the edited Photo changed its position to the end of the series of photos having the same date/time – this was no more its desired position/sequence.

It seems therefore important to have a tool, that allows to increment the date/time by one or more seconds or minutes.
