I would like to change the date and time at which all the pictures in a certian directory were taken.

I would like to change them all to a single date and time.

What would the command line be?

There are many places that date/time information can be stored,
but if you want to change just the common ones (createdate,
modifydate, datetimeoriginal), then you can use the "alldates"
shortcut.  In this case, the command will look like this:

Code:
exiftool "-alldates=2007:01:13 11:12:00" DIR

where "DIR" is the name of your directory

Thanks for the syntax!

I\\\'ll try it out tonight and post with my results.
