Use exiftool -a -G1 -s -time:all FILE to see all of the date/time tags by name, and where they are located (this is FAQ3).

Then, use this syntax to copy between the tags:

exiftool "-DSTTAG1<SRCTAG1" "-DSTTAG2<SRCTAG2" ... FILE

Also, you should probably read the notes about the system date/time tags in the Extra Tags documentation

Note that FileModifyDate always gets set to the current date/time if any real tags are changed in the file.  You can use the -P option to preserve the existing filemodifydate.  On Macs, ExifTool is not able to access the filesystem creation date/time.

...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...
i will do on unix for this : On Macs, ExifTool is not able to access the filesystem creation date/time.

Phil Harvey

On Unix filesystems (UFS), the file creation date is not stored at all.
