Need to copy the date modified to date picture taken on multiple files

whats my best option, this is to copy to the same file, or i could make a copy of the files in another folder

thanks

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:

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 will help with determining the name of the tags you should use, but note the FAQ is also for the command line program.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).
