Title: Change Date Time Original to Modified Date
Post by: Minatory on May 13, 2015, 08:38:32 AM

Hello, I have tried this:

exiftool "-DateTimeOriginal<ModifyDate"

However the Original is set to the current time in the system, despite the fact, that file has a ModifyDate. :-(

I think you are confused about what you are doing.

Whenever you write anything to the file, the FileModifyDate (the filesystem modification date/time) is set to the current time unless the -P option is used.

Also, read FAQ 3 (https://exiftool.org/faq.html#Q3) to learn how to better understand what is going on.
