Ok so heres what ive done so far
Dowloaded, extracted, Renamed and moved to the directory.

Im running from comand prompt apparently. So if I have a folder of images that need the date and time changing. How do I specify where the folder I want to change is and whats the command for it.

Thanks

I always use the File::Find module to so.

http://search.cpan.org/~nwclark/perl-5.8.5/lib/File/Find.pm" target="_blank">http://search.cpan.org/~nwclark/perl-5.8.5/lib/File/Find.pm

use File::Find;

find(\&wanted, @directories_to_search);

sub wanted {
                if (/\.jpg$) { ...do something with exif ... } #just do this if $_ is a jpeg file
           }

Hope this hint is helpful

Kind regards

Andreas

Hi Miranda,

In Windows, most hard disks are C:

From here, you type directory names until you get to the
directory that your images are in.  If the directory names
have spaces in them, you need to put quotes around the
name.  For instance:

Code:

exiftool -alldates+=1 "C:\Documents and Settings\Phil\Desktop\My Pictures"

The above directory name is what I would use on my computer
to access a folder called "My Pictures" on my desktop (since
my user name is "Phil").

Hopefully this will help.  Also, you usually can press the
TAB key after the first few characters when typing a
directory name, and the system will automatically complete
the name if there isn't another directory that begins with
the same characters.

- Phil
