Re: RIFF Write Support
For my Canon S3 IS, I would like to set the FileModifyDate on .AVI files from the -DateTimeOriginal tag in the associated sidecar .THM file. Exiftool gives the error that RIFF files can't be written.
My command line that didn't work was:

exiftool -ext AVI -ext THM -TagsFromFile %d%f.THM -DateTimeOriginal>FileModifyDate -r .

I am trying to set the file system dates for both .AVI and .THM files using the .THM date. Can you implement setting the file date on AVI (RIFF) files? This doesn't require modifying the file contents at all. Or is there already a way to do this that works?
