Title: How to change the Date Modified of a directory?
Post by: bmn on January 05, 2019, 01:31:09 PM
I would like to change the Date Modified of a directory to match the date of the file it contains. Can exiftool do this? I am running MacOS.

ExifTool can not set the date/time of a directory.  Just files.

AppleScript can change the modification dates of folders, but it's probably outside the scope of this forum.
