Dear Phil,

I tried to work it out on my own, but I failed.

My only problem is to copy the date of the picture taken (the one from the camera) and to change -AllDates-. I'm quite sure your tool can handle this, but how?

Thank you for your help,
Kai

If I understand, it sounds like you want to copy the original date/time value to all of the tags represented by "alldates":

exiftool "-datetimeoriginal>alldates" FILE

or

exiftool "-alldates<datetimeoriginal" FILE

- 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 ($).

Thanks Phil,
That's perfect.
