Hello,

I was wondering if there was a way to set the FileModifyDate tag to another tag value on all jpegs in a directory?

Thanks.

Yes.  The command could look something like this:

exiftool "-filemodifydate<datetimeoriginal" -ext jpg DIR

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).
