Hi,
I have a bunch of files and movies that were all wrong by 1 month less, then I though is simple
1) I put all the files in one directory
2) install exiftool correctly and open with cmd and run the exiftool, and moving using cd until I am inside of the directory where the files are.
run:   exiftool "AllDates+=0:1:0 0:0:0"
results: doesn't find any file
-----------------
1) move out of the directory
2) run:  exiftool "AllDates+=0:1:0 0:0:0 test
results...e directory scanned but doesn't change anything
----
I am doing right?

If you are in the directory containing the files, you must add a "." to the command line to represent the current directory:

exiftool "AllDates+=0:1:0 0:0:0" .

ExifTool will then process all writable file types in the directory.  If it doesn't process any files, then they might not be writable by ExifTool.  Use "exiftool -listwf" with no other arguments to get a list of currently writable file types.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).
