Title: CreateDate?
Post by: foosion on May 15, 2014, 07:56:56 AM
exiftool -CreateDate is not listing the creation date. I'm missing something obvious here.

If I run exiftool without any options, it show everything, including the creation date:
===========
[D:\pics]exiftool P5053959.jpg
ExifTool Version Number         : 9.60
File Name                       : P5053959.jpg
Directory                       : .
File Size                       : 6.8 MB
File Modification Date/Time     : 2014:05:05 12:53:04-04:00
File Access Date/Time           : 2014:05:05 12:53:01-04:00
File Creation Date/Time         : 2014:05:05 12:53:01-04:00
<snipped>
===========

However,

===========
[D:\pics]exiftool -CreateDate -FileSize P5053959.jpg
File Size                       : 6.8 MB

[D:\pics]
===========

Doesn't show the creation date.  What am I missing?

You are missing reading FAQ number 2 (https://exiftool.org/faq.html#Q2).  ;)
