Title: original copy disable
Post by: pasikonik on December 13, 2015, 03:25:27 PM
Is there a way to disable creating copy of original files when modifying metadata like shifting time?

I would also be interested in being able to specify a directory where the original copies might be saved.

See -overwrite_original (http://www.exiftool.org/exiftool_pod.html#overwrite_original).

I don't think your second question is possible, though you could specify a new folder for the processed files.
