Sorry for this lame post... what is the command line to set the file creation and file modify dates to the date the picture was taken?

Thanks

You can use the following command to set the modify date:

Code:

exiftool "-filemodifydate<datetimeoriginal" image.jpg

but there is no easy way to set the creation date.

Excellent!! Thanks for the quick reply.  Turns out creation date was not critical, modifydate was fine.  Worked great.
