I'm using a tool that sorts images by creation date.
I have a bunch of negatives I scanned, all with the same creation date and with file names like this:
place_001.jpg
place_002.jpg
...
the goal would be to increment the creation date using the sequence number in the file name so the application will sort them in the right sequence.
My question is why this command line is not working?
exiftool -datetimeoriginal+="0000:00:00 00:00:${Basename;m/^[^_]+_([\d]+)$/;$_=$1}" .\place_001.jpg
0 image files updated
1 image files unchangedI'm sure there is a better method to do what I need
Thanks
I assume you are on Windows CMD because of the quoting.
This is common mistake 5c (https://exiftool.org/mistakes.html#M5). Use "+<" instead of "+=".

Thanks for the reply,
Yes, I'm using Windows, but I can run it on Linux too.
Somehow, this doesn't seem to go through either
exiftool -datetimeoriginal .\place_001.dng
Date/Time Original : 1993:07:03 02:49:10
exiftool "-datetimeoriginal+<0:0:${Filename;m/^[^_]+_([0-9]+).+/;$_=$1}" .\place_001.dng
Warning: No writable tags set from ./place_001.dng
Warning: Invalid tag name '0:0:'. Use '=' not '<' to assign a tag value - ./place_001.dng

It seems to work on Linux
exiftool '-datetimeoriginal+<0:0:${Filename;m/^[^_]+_([0-9]+).+/;$_=$1}' ./place_001.dng
1 image files updated
Thanks

I'm guessing that you're using PowerShell to get this error. Use CMD, not PS.
