hi, need help.
I downloaded my photos from Icloud, they are all with the wrong date, but with the photo there was a provided CSV file with information in this form:
imgName,fileChecksum,favorite,hidden,deleted,originalCreationDate,viewCount,importDate
IMG_5657.MOV,AVktkr69Z/JdTa4I73kmGI8AdwUr,no,no,no,"Friday March 10,2023 2:08 PM GMT",11,"Friday March 10,2023 2:10 PM GMT"
IMG_1956.JPG,AR14Tx2xvlTxkQVCq8zkF1p0fHJF,no,no,no,"Saturday June 27,2020 3:30 PM GMT",0,"Saturday June 27,2020 3:30 PM GMT"

IMG_72221.HEIC
I changed the file to this:
SourceFile,originalCreationDate
F:\Photos\IMG_00602.MOV,2021:07:05 00:59:00
F:\Photos\IMG_0161.HEIC,2021:09:23 18:55:00
f:\photos\IMG_64551.HEIC,2021:08:02 12:57:00
f:\photos\IMG_9434.HEIC,2021:12:01 14:36:00
f:\photos\IMG_17272.HEIC,2019:03:02 19:35:00
f:\photos\IMG_8138.HEIC,2021:09:12 20:02:00
f:\photos\IMG_6757.HEIC,2021:08:04 17:59:00
f:\photos\IMG_2330.JPG,2020:08:04 11:06:00
f:\photos\IMG_9787.HEIC,2021:12:22 16:03:00
f:\photos\IMG_9509.HEIC,2021:12:04 19:35:00
f:\photos\IMG_1417.JPG,2018:08:26 00:01:00
and used this command:
f:\Photos>exiftool -csv="f:\photos\details.csv" -ext MOV -ext JPG -ext HEIC "-FileModifyDate<originalCreationDate" -r "f:\photos\"
to which he writes to me:
1 directories scanned
0 image files read
There are files, the path to them is specified correctly.
What am I doing wrong?
Very odd. What does this command show?:
dir "f:\photos\"
- Phil
f:\Photos>dir "f:\photos\"
Том в устройстве F не имеет метки.

OK, now how about this command:?
exiftool -filemodifydate "f:\photos\"
- Phil
f:\Photos>exiftool -filemodifydate "f:\photos\"
1 directories scanned
0 image files read
We have seen some very weird behaviour in Windows filesystems. We could have seen something like this in the past but I can't recall the issue.
Maybe @StarGeek or some other Windows-type person has an idea.
- Phil
I have windows 11, just tried on windows 10 on another pc. no difference.
if you try to do it in linux. will this help?
You can run some other tests to narrow down the problem.
Does ExifTool work with files on other disks? If not, try re-installing ExifTool. But if it does, try a file in another directory on drive F:. Check the file permissions. Be sure the file name doesn't have a hidden character in the extension (eg. "file.jpg "). Try dragging and dropping one of the files that doesn't work onto the command line instead of using a directory name.
- Phil
it didn't work :'(
Nothing worked from all the tests I suggested?
I don't understand how that could happen.
Maybe try the alternate Windows version of ExifTool (https://oliverbetz.de/pages/Artikel/ExifTool-for-Windows).
- Phil
I just remembered an issue on Windows with arguments ending in \". I think the backslash escapes the trailing quote. So try using forward slashes instead:
exiftool -filemodifydate "f:/photos/"
(Why backslashes would work with the "dir" command and not exiftool, I don't know.)
- Phil
Or double the backslash "f:\photos\\"
Or just not use quotes when they aren't needed f:\photos\
