Bulk EXIFTool modifying Timezone Information

[isaacchu]

Hi,

I've recently tried to bulk edit a bunch of my screenshots so that they have timezone metadata information. The csv file I am using is attached below. However when I run the command

Code Select Expand

exiftool -overwrite_original -csv="C:\Users\Isaac\Pictures\metadata.csv" "C:\Users\Isaac\Pictures\Screenshots" in administrator command prompt:

It returns with

Code Select Expand

This is a permission problem.  ExifTool needs write permission in the output directory.  Make sure the directory is writable.
