Google photos sorting? Possible fix?

[lolville]

Hello. I am using google takeout to download all my photos and videos. Then I wanna delete everything from the google drive and reupload everything using a Pixel XL.

I removed duplicated using czkawka and fixed some name files with bulk rename utility. Then I transferred the files from my computer to the phone but everything is sorted and is being uploaded in the same day that I used exiftool to fix the metadata.

I ran exiftool with the following parameters

Code Select Expand

exiftool -r -d %s -tagsfromfile "%d/%F.json" "-GPSAltitude<GeoDataAltitude" "-GPSLatitude<GeoDataLatitude" "-GPSLatitudeRef<GeoDataLatitude" "-GPSLongitude<GeoDataLongitude" "-GPSLongitudeRef<GeoDataLongitude" "-Keywords<Tags" "-Subject<Tags" "-Caption-Abstract<Description" "-ImageDescription<Description" "-DateTimeOriginal<PhotoTakenTimeTimestamp" -ext "*" -overwrite_original -progress --ext json <DirToProcess>
A command that makes the modified date same as creation date will solve my problem or there is something else to add?
Will this work?

exiftool -r -d %s -tagsfromfile "%d/%F.json" "-FileModifyDate<PhotoTakenTimeTimestamp" -ext "*" -overwrite_original -progress --ext json "[DirectoryName]"
Thanks!

Edit: Or just use the Gui and use the modify menu?

Try it and see. FileModifyDate is probably the tag you want to use, though it might be FileCreateDate instead.
