Modify Exif without changing date and time of file ?

Posted on 2007-01-07 22:39:50-08 by stefan

Hello,
with
exiftool -AllDates-=1 -overwrite_original DIR
I can change the date but also the file is overwritten the original date and time stamp of the file changed to the actual date.
Is there a way to keep origianal file date and time and to change Exif?
Regards
Stefan

Hi Stephan,

You can preserve the original file-system timestamp with the '-P' option, or set it from the EXIF information with an argument like "-filemodifydate<datetimeoriginal".
