Title: NEWBIE: I would like to change the file system date and time to the photo
Post by: ITBeemer on July 20, 2016, 07:54:58 PM
I have had several phones and made backup copies of them several times.  Every time i do that the file system date is what is current then they are all out of order.
Can I use this tool to change the file system date to the date the picture was taken from the metadata in the photo.

I did browse and didnt find this specifically so I thought Id ask.

Thanks much in advance!!

Yes.  A command to do this is:

exiftool "-filemodifydate<createdate" DIR
