DC5 (v5.0.12) Mark all files in folders which don't match their taken by date

I have tons of photos that are duplicated. For many, they have the proper 'taken by' date, but were put in wrong folders.
There doesn't seem to be a way to mark them like this currently. Or do you have a clever suggestion / workaround?

This would save me thousands and thousands of manually reviewed items.

Can't think of a way currently, but the next update allows importing of CSV files along with user-generated columns.

So this would allow you to do things like-
  • Run the scan (include the Date taken in the results)
    Export CSV to Excel
    Create a new column in Excel add make a function than compares the date taken with the folder name, outputting e.g. Y or N
    Save as CSV, import back into DC
    You now have a new column you can mark against.
