Hey there,
I downloaded ExifTool because a member from another forum mentioned this tool. It looks that it does what I need, but I really have no idea how to do it.
Even If I'm able to use DOS commands, I can't figure out to do it here.

Well, I have thousands of photos (SCREENSHOTS) with a specific date-name. (Attached a photo).
That means I already have the ORIGINAL TAKEN DATE OF THE PHOTO.

BUT! But because the Screenshots are old, and because I did planty of Copies, Resizes, Recopies and so, the photos lost their EXIF - DATE TAKEN INFORMATION.
BUT BECAUSE I'M GEEK and NERD, I need to Re-Edit this info!

And here I need your help for this "Inverse EXIF Rename".
I use the word Inverse because most of you, asking to rename a filename based to EXIF, but I need the opposite.

I hope Exiftool tool does what I need!

Thank you in advance, Dimitrios

See FAQ #5, specifically the third paragraph that starts "Having said this".  Use the command listed under that.
"It didn't work" isn't helpful. What was the exact command used and the output.
Read FAQ #3 and use that cmd
