Hello, I have tried this: exiftool "-DateTimeOriginal<ModifyDate"

However the Original is set to the current time in the system, despite the fact, that file has a ModifyDate. :-(

I think you are confused about what you are doing.

Whenever you write anything to the file, the FileModifyDate (the filesystem modification date/time) is set to the current time unless the -P option is used.

Also, read FAQ 3 to learn how to better understand what is going on.

...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 ($).
