I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "date modified" and "date picture taken". If you mean the EXIF ModifyData and the EXIF CreateDate, then from the command line this is:

Code Select

exiftool "-createdate<modifydate" Dir
Presumably you can do this via the ExifTool Direct box in the GUI, but I can't help much with details there.

FAQ 2 (https://exiftool.org/faq.html#Q2) will help with determining the name of the tags you should use, but note the FAQ is also for the command line program.
