Another great tool, with a little bit of a learning curve though, is exiftool: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/
I am using it to reorganize a large photo library (which it's awesome for), but this page talks about updating tags: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/#writing It can be as simple as: #exiftool "-DateTimeOriginal+=5:10:2 10:48:0" IMG_1234.JPG To update the DateTimeOriginal tag. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Susan Joslyn Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2013 5:14 AM To: 'Manu Fernandes'; 'U2 Users List' Subject: Re: [U2] Writing into metadata Thanks, Manu.
