Tiff Tag 306 ModifyDate to Tiff images

[j99mac]

I am trying to add Tiff Tag 306 ModifyDate to Tiff images. Is there a command to do that?

Is FileModifyDate the same as ModifyDate? Tiff tag 306

Regarding the tag name, see the EXIF Tags documentation and hover over the hex tag ID to see the value in decimal.

A command is:

exiftool -modifydate="2021:09:21 14:47:00" FILE

When I run your command I get _original in my folder. Is there a way to make sure it dose not make that file.
Also is there away to make it put in the date I run the command?

Use this command to insert the current date/time and avoid the _original backup:

exiftool -overwrite_original -modifydate=now FILE

FileModifyDate is the file system modify date.  It is part of the underlying file system and not embedded data.

When I run the script
exiftool -overwrite_original -modifydayte=now FILE

I got the this
Warning: Tag 'modifydayte' is not defined
Nothing to do.

Is there something I need to add to get it to do something?

Don't you mean ModifyDate, not modifydayte?
