original copy disable

[pasikonik]

Is there a way to disable creating copy of original files when modifying metadata like shifting time?

I would also be interested in being able to specify a directory where the original copies might be saved.

See -overwrite_original.

I don't think your second question is possible, though you could specify a new folder for the processed files.
