Hello,

Using
exiftool "-DateTimeOriginal>FileModifyDate" %1
I managed to set the file date of a jpeg back to the date-time the pic was really taken (has been changed by another tool that added keywords to the exif tags). But there is another date field in the file which appears to hold the creation date. Is there a chance to change this this exiftool as well?

Thanks.....

Do you mean something like


?

If not, I think you are talking about the creation date stored
in the filesystem.  ExifTool can not modify this date.

Hi Phil,

Thanks for the feedback. Tried it but does not work.
Don't know if it's the date from the FS but if, how can I change that? The date that I can see in the explorer or using the dir command was set to the exif date.

Merci...

I don't know of any utilities that will update the filesystem
creation date of a file in Windows.  They may exist -- I'm not
very knowledgeable when it comes to Windows software.
