Hi Patrick,
This is my exiftool documentation for updating the xmp and/or the pictures
BEFORE importing the pictures and their updated xmp files into Darktable :
#*************************************************************
# Create xmp files for jpg - jpeg - png files recursively
#*************************************************************
exiftool -ext jpg -ext jpeg -ext png -tagsfromfile @ -srcfile %d%f.%e.xmp
-r .
#****************************************************************************************
#Copy date-time from FILENAME into tag "DateTimeOriginal" for all xmp files
recursively
#****************************************************************************************
exiftool -r -if 'not $DateTimeOriginal' '-DateTimeOriginal<filename'
-hierarchicalsubject+="Mobile|DateMissingFilename"
-subject+="DateMissingFilename" -ext xmp .
#*******************************************************************************************************
#Copy date-time (12:00:00) from FOLDER name into tag "DateTimeOriginal" for
all xmp files recursively
#*******************************************************************************************************
exiftool -r -if 'not $DateTimeOriginal'
'-DateTimeOriginal<${directory}:12:00 00:00:00'
-hierarchicalsubject+="Mobile|DateMissingFolder"
-subject+="DateMissingFolder" -ext xmp .
#***************************************************************************************************************************************************************
#Create the "[EXIF] DateTimeOriginal" - tag and copy the "[File]
FileModifyDate" value into this field (cfr
https://exiftool.org/forum/index.php?topic=10792.0)
#***************************************************************************************************************************************************************
exiftool -addtagsfromfile @ -datetimeoriginal-=
"-datetimeoriginal<filemodifydate" "-datetimeoriginal<createdate"
-createdate-= "-createdate<filemodifydate" "-createdate<datetimeoriginal"
-srcfile %d%f.%e.xmp -ext jpg -ext jpeg
"./Photos/2014/2014-05/10345096_751420998243123_2046058191_n.jpg"
exiftool -r -hierarchicalsubject+="Mobile|DateMissingCreatedate"
-subject+="DateMissingCreatedate" -ext xmp
"./Photos/2014/2014-05/10345096_751420998243123_2046058191_n.jpg.xmp"
#****************
#Create alldates
#****************
exiftool '-AllDates=2007:03:18 10:00:00' -ext xmp .
#**********************************
#Display time tags in all files
#**********************************
#exiftool -a -G1 -s -time:all *
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
| Change date/time photos manually
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
exiftool -DateTimeOriginal='1978-05-15 12:00:00' *.*
I hope this helps.
Brgds,
