Hello! I'm using exiftool v12.14 on Big Sur. On a previous version of the OS I was able to use the following command to replace the Created meta tag with Content Created:

exiftool "-filecreatedate<createdate" .

Recently it stopped working for me, I think since I updated my Mac to Big Sur. Now, I get the following error:

Warning: Error 18176 running "setfile" to set FileCreateDate - FILENAME

Strangely, I can flip it to "createdate<filecreatedate" and it works, but that's not the direction I want it to go. Any help is appreciated!

* Did you read FAQ #3 and use the command listed there?
* Please use the Code button for exiftool code/output.
 
* Please include your OS, Exiftool version, and type of file you're processing (MP4, JPG, etc).

Sounds like setfile isn't available. Maybe this post will help?

Yes, thank you! Running that did the trick, and now it works   ;D ;D ;D
