There are occasions where you want to set the file dates of a series of files starting from a specific date and steadily increasing from there in constant increments.
A specific example is when you have image files without content creation meta-data, but where you know both the approximate time and the sequence in which they were taken. This is a common scenario especially when you want to import scanned image files into an image management system such as Apple’s Photos or Adobe’s Lightroom.
A Better Finder Attributes enables you to do this:
select Advanced Date Manipulation
from the Action:
popup menu.
select Specific Date
from the Use:
popup menu.
select Increment by sort order
from the Change:
popup menu.
You can then adjust the sort order and the interval to be used by adjusting the First:
and Then:
popup menus, and the Hours
, Minutes
, Seconds
, Days
, Months

fields.
