Shifting date-time by double amount

Hi All,

when I use Exiftool in the Windows command line to shift the time, it works flawless.
When I use the command option in the ExiftoolGUI software, the time shifts by double the amount: E.g.
-xmp:Createdate+=0:0:2 1.nef shifts the time with 4 seconds instead of two. I tried with all different values, and every time it shifts by double the amount I ask for. Anyone knows a solution for this or is this a program bug?

Regards,

Geert

Hi Geert,

My guess is that somehow the file is being processed twice.

If you are using the ExifTool direct feature, don't put the file name in the command.

...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 ($).
