Hello,

I'm using your very cool software. It's quiet perfect.
I've got this problem : When I rename files using Exiftool, the modified date change; this date is use by PMB from Sony for sorting media in his own browser . It takes the date of the day (when I rename the file).
Is it possible that ExifTool doesn't change this "Modified Date"?
For the moment I use this to put back the Creation Date of the file (When I shoot with my camera Sony CX700) :

exiftool" "-filemodifydate<datetimeoriginal" "-filemodifydate<datetimeoriginal" *.M2TS

Thank you very much.

ExifTool should not change the filemodifydate if only the filename is changed.  However, if you write any "real" tags the filemodifydate will get reset to the current date/time unless the -P option is used.  See FAQ number 24 for more information.

...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 ($).
