Also, how does the second command work, as I don't see anywhere in it number "1", which is by how many hours it advances the time tag of each picture. I know this is basic, but what does "-r" in your commands do? I tried searching in FAQs and elsewhere and couldn't find it. I'm trying to understand better how ExifTool works, as I'm following your instructions. This I think is a wise idea the automatic approach would just put 24 images in a day and that is likely not appropriate. I've been thinking, would it not be easier to achieve what I'm trying to do by creating separate folders for each day of the holiday, and manually placing all the pictures as I see fit into each one, and then working on each folder separately? I think it may simplify the commands required, but I still need your help (if you don't mind)!
exiftool "-datetimeoriginal+you are asking is tricky, but try this (assuming your holiday was on 2016:07:01):ġ. Assign approximately the correct time to them, incrementally, by assigning the time of, let's say 11:00 to the first of the 24 images on any given date, and then increment that by 10 minutes, or something like that for all images on that day, and then do the same for every following dayĬan someone help me with this? I'd really appreciate it.Assign approximately the correct date to them, incrementally, by assigning the first day of holiday to the first 24 images, the second date to the next 24, etc (this way, the last day will have 23 pictures left, this needs to be taken into account for the command line parameters to work?).In effect, they only differ in their file names, the Date Modified (and Time) is identical for all of them (and incorrect), and the Date Taken info is missing. For some reason, all of them are missing the Date Taken info, and only have the Date Modified set to some date in 2009. I have 167 photos, which were taken over the course of 7 days on holiday. I really need some help, I tried to figure it out on my own, and searching here, but can't find specific info/steps I need to take in order to achieve what I'm trying to do.
