hi, need help.
I downloaded my photos from Icloud, they are all with the wrong date, but with the photo there was a provided CSV file with information in this form:

imgName,fileChecksum,favorite,hidden,deleted,originalCreationDate,viewCount,importDate
IMG_5657.MOV,AVktkr69Z/JdTa4I73kmGI8AdwUr,no,no,no,"Friday March 10,2023 2:08 PM GMT",11,"Friday March 10,2023 2:10 PM GMT"

IMG_72221.HEIC

I changed the file to this:
Code Select
SourceFile,originalCreationDate
F:\Photos\IMG_00602.MOV,2021:07:05 00:59:00
F:\Photos\IMG_0161.HEIC,2021:09:23 18:55:00

f:\photos\IMG_17272.HEIC,2019:03:02 19:35:00
f:\photos\IMG_8138.HEIC,2021:09:12 20:02:00
f:\photos\IMG_6757.HEIC,2021:08:04 17:59:00
f:\photos\IMG_2330.JPG,2020:08:04 11:06:00
f:\photos\IMG_9787.HEIC,2021:12:22 16:03:00
f:\photos\IMG_9509.HEIC,2021:12:04 19:35:00
f:\photos\IMG_1417.JPG,2018:08:26 00:01:00
and used this command:

Code Select
f:\Photos>exiftool -csv="f:\photos\details.csv" -ext MOV -ext JPG -ext HEIC "-FileModifyDate<originalCreationDate" -r "f:\photos\"
to which he writes to me:

     
Code Select
1 directories scanned
     0 image files read


There are files, the path to them is specified correctly.

What am I doing wrong?

Very odd.  What does this command show?:

dir "f:\photos\"

- Phil
...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 ($).

OK, now how about this command:?

exiftool -filemodifydate "f:\photos\"

- Phil
...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 ($).

We have seen some very weird behaviour in Windows filesystems.  We could have seen something like this in the past but I can't recall the issue.

Maybe @StarGeek or some other Windows-type person has an idea.

You can run some other tests to narrow down the problem.

Does ExifTool work with files on other disks?  If not, try re-installing ExifTool.  But if it does, try a file in another directory on drive F:.  Check the file permissions.  Be sure the file name doesn't have a hidden character in the extension (eg. "file.jpg ").  Try dragging and dropping one of the files that doesn't work onto the command line instead of using a directory name.

Nothing worked from all the tests I suggested?

I don't understand how that could happen.

Maybe try the alternate Windows version of ExifTool.

I just remembered an issue on Windows with arguments ending in \".  I think the backslash escapes the trailing quote.  So try using forward slashes instead:

exiftool -filemodifydate "f:/photos/"

(Why backslashes would work with the "dir" command and not exiftool, I don't know.)

Or double the backslash "f:\photos\\"
Or just not use quotes when they aren't needed f:\photos\
* 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).
