Accept Date Time Stamp that has null Time Values

[Paul Barrett]

It would be nice if ExifTool could accept null time values as 00:00:00 instead of rejecting them, when updating Metadata

[Phil Harvey]

But it will:

Code Select Expand

> exiftool a.jpg -datetimeoriginal='0000:00:00 00:00:00'
    1 image files updated
> exiftool a.jpg -datetimeoriginal
Date/Time Original              : 0000:00:00 00:00:00

However, from your other thread I think you may be trying to write filesystem timestamps, for which time zero depends on the epoch of the filesystem.
