copying DateTime to DateTimeOriginal tag

[xian]

Hi!

I'd like to overwrite the DateTimeOriginal and DateTimeDigitized tags by the value of DateTime in files in a directory. How can I do that?

Thank you,
K

Hi K,

The syntax is

exiftool "-DSTTAG<SRCTAG" FILE

Where DSTTAG is the destination tag name, SRCTAG is the source tag name, and FILE is one or more file and/or directory names.

See FAQ number 2 if you have questions about the tag name.

Hello Phil,

thanks for the tip.

The command exiftool "-DateTimeOriginal<ModifyDate" "-CreateDate<ModifyDate" "-ModifyDate>FileModifyDate" .
did the trick and updated the messed up tags, as well the date of the files in the current directory.

Great tool.

K.
