Title: Absolute Beginner How to replace DateModified..
Post by: Ulrich_ger on August 15, 2019, 11:40:01 AM
Hello,
I want to replace the time (tag DdateModified) by the date of exposure/ (create Date or Date/Time Original) for every file of a folder.
I want to store it  as an often used procedure in ExifTool direct predefined.

What do i have write as a command line.

Sorry for that (may be) absolute beginner question :-[

Thanks in Advance

Hi Ulrich,

Assuming you want to set the filesystem modification date/time, this would be the equivalent ExifTool command:

exiftool "-modifydate<createdate" "-modifydate<datetimeoriginal" DIR

So I think this is what would go in the ExifTool direct box:

"-modifydate<createdate" "-modifydate<datetimeoriginal"
