Saying Hello but with Winter-Summer time problem

[PhL]

I use Exiftool for some time to rename files based on the Panasonic title...
I just downloaded ExifToolGUI 5.15
I had Exiftool 7.8.6...

My purpose is to redate the date from winter to summer of vice versa when the camera was not at the right time when picture was taken

Hi Philippe,

Using the command-line application this is easy.  In the simplest form, the command looks like this:

exiftool -alldates+=1 DIR

where DIR is the name of a directory containing the images.

For example, I forgot to set the clock on my K-5 back by 1 hour in the fall, so I used this command.

I think you can probably do this through ExifToolGUI too, but I don't know how.

Thanks for the answer !

Shall I upgrade Exiftool or stay with my version ?

Definitely upgrade.  ExifTool isn't one of those packages that introduces more bugs with the new features.

Version 7.86 is almost 5 years old now, and the world of metadata has changed significantly since then.

Come to think of it, ExifToolGUI version 5 probably won't even work with that old ExifTool version.

Thanks !

It doesn't work for sure...

What is the last version (and where) ?
I only use the rename file based on "Panasonic title" now...


Great forum indeed !!!!

Click the "<-- Back to ExifTool home page" link at the bottom of this page to find the current version.
