Processing a whole directory or disk recursively with exiftool is as advertized much quicker than using find. Is it possible to print the system date (not the create date in exif data) or file size from exiftool?

I'm not sure what you mean.  Calling ExifTool once is much faster than calling it many times, if that's what you mean.

Yes:  exiftool -filemodifydate -filesize -r DIR

...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 ($).
