Hey,

I have a question about the adjustment of  the FileModifyDate, the FileAccessDate and the FileInodeChangeDate to a date in the past? Is it possible to change the dates and if it will works, how?

thanks for your help and efforts.

Of these tags, only FileModifyDate is writable (see the Extra Tags documentation), like this:

exiftool -filemodifydate="2008:10:29 18:45:00" FILE

...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 ($).
