Set EXIF 2.32 Time Zone Tags with AllDates

[José Oliver-Didier]

Hello Phill,

AllDates is a shortcut for DateTimeOriginal, CreateDate and ModifyDate. Given that EXIF finally included timezones in their spec, why not allow updating the corresponding timezone tags (OffsetTime, OffsetTimeOriginal, OffsetTimeDigitized) with AllDates as well?

Just throwing this out there because shortcuts don't get enough attention, here's a shortcut that will do that.  If you already have a shortcut section in your .exiftool_config, just add the middle line to it.

Code Select Expand

%Image::ExifTool::UserDefined::Shortcuts = (
MyAllDates => ['AllDates','OffsetTimeDigitized','OffsetTimeOriginal','OffsetTime'],
);

Hi José,

The nice thing about AllDates is it represents tags with the same date/time formatting, so all these tags may be written with the same value.  I don't see how this would work if it is combined with the time zone tags.
