Possible error with "-overwrite_original_in_place"

[karlgustavv]

Hello Phil,

exiftool "-FileModifyDate<DateTimeOriginal" "-AllDates<DateTimeOriginal" -overwrite_original *.jpg

is working as expected. ExifTool updates times in all files and sets FileModifyDates accordingly.

exiftool "-FileModifyDate<DateTimeOriginal" "-AllDates<DateTimeOriginal" -overwrite_original_in_place *.jpg

is NOT working as expected. ExifTool updates times in all files but does NOT set FileModifyDates accordingly. All FileModifyDates are set to "now".

Is this a bug or an intended behavior?

Thanks
Karl
