Date Created Not being modified

I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.

I've downloaded the exiftool for Mac and run the following line exiftool -AllDates+=1:: DIR It ran and told me that it processed 266 images and made bakups of all files also. What I'm attempting to do is change the date from 2007 to 2008 without modifing the time. After it finished I opened the nikon NEF files in bridge and they still have 2007 instead of 2008 in the date created properties. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sako

Re: Date Created Not being modified

Hi Sako,

Using AllDates as you have described, causes increasing Time part (hour) of DateTime. To increase Year only, you should do:

exiftool -AllDates+="1:: ::" dir

-I'm not sure if double quotes must be used on Mac (if not, try single quite instead).

Actually, I like this more:

exiftool -AllDates+="1:0:0 0:0:0" dir

-because it's more descriptive which part will be changed.

Greetings,
Bogdan

Thanks Bogdan. Just for the record, both single and double quotes work on the Mac. Single quotes must be used only if the argument contains a dollar sign ($) or a double quote character (").
