Ok, curious to see what's causing this.

Thanks so much for your work and time. It's an incredible tool.

Ah, OK.  I've looked into this in more detail.  The %s format was handled by ExifTool when reading, but still relegated to the POSIX strptime library function when writing.  So it seems like strptime on Fedora doesn't support the %s format code (which is odd because I thought this was standard POSIX).

I will add a patch to handle "%s" internally when writing as well, so this should work for you in ExifTool 12.65.

...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 ($).

oh I see. That makes sense!

Thank you so much for adding the patch, looking forward to the next release :)
