I would like to use as much of the date as is in the tag, perhaps padding the remainder with some false additional components, (e.g. What I am looking for is some ideas about how to solve this. For example, a DateTimeOriginal date of 1912, no month, day, etc., would end up as. (I can successfully use another ExifTool function to rename the file with the date at the beginning, but the date ends up incorrect.
But when I attempt to do this, ExifTool sees the zeros in the DateTimeOriginal tag as invalid, and the operation aborts with an error.
It would be a simple matter of updating the FileCreateDate and/or FileModifyDate to match the DateTimeOriginal tag. I am readying the jpgs for viewing online, and also need to be able to sort the files by this original photo date in this environment. I typically select these photos by keyword tags and view them in Date order. Organizer allows addition of a partial date, e.g., year only, in which case the remainder or blank portion of the input is set as 00s in the DateTimeOriginal tag.
I set the date of the original photo with Organizer's Date and Time tag, which stores in the DateTimeOriginal EXIF tag. I have a couple thousand mostly very old scanned photos that I have been putting together in Photoshop Elements Organizer over the last 10-12 years. I'm resurrecting this topic because it is similar to what I want to do. The -d FMT, -dateFormat is for output only, right? so do i have to extract/parse/reset the exif date in a 3-step shell process, or is there some way exiftool can do it in 1 swell foop?-) Warning: No writable tags set from 0818031904a.jpg Warning: Month '18' out of range 0.11 in File:FileModifyDate (ValueConvInv) - 0818031904a.jpg > exiftool "-FileModifyDate
