![]() ![]() Then, after unzipping those files, I want them imported into folders named YYYY-MM-DD in my Pictures Library folder. There you can only download 1000 images at a time so I'm stuck downloading several zip files to clear a whole year. So I had to reverse the process and go to. I couldn't figure out any rhyme or reason why. ![]() But when I start an import, it would only go so far, then would just stop midway. I used "Photos" app in Win10 and after much difficulty even "seeing" the iPhone in Windows Explorer, I finally got it visible in Explorer and Photos. I would rather have imported the same batch of files first from my iPhone directly to my PC, but it never worked right. (I would have attacked the problem in reverse if it worked, but it doesn't. To download a large batch of pictures and videos from iCloud so I can import them to my Pictures folder and delete them from iCloud and my iPhone and free up space in both places. Here is what I did - for any future searchers. Ok, so I found this thread on the site that explained what to do exactly. For any pictures I downloaded, the file Attribute "Date Taken" is the actual date it was taken - or created- so that works fine, however "Date Taken" is blank for any video downloaded so photo importing tools get confused and import them into the wrong folders. The file attributes Date Created, Modified, Accessed, etc all refer to a date around the time I downloaded the files, nothing close to (I assume EXIF data) the CreateDate. It would be nice if they separated "Details" from "Exif Data" and gave it it's own tab in Properties. Is that correct?Īnd to further confuse us, I think, Microsoft displays some of that EXIF info in "Details" tab in the file "Properties"? Under the sub-heading "Origin" I see a date that corresponds to EXIF "CreateDate" called "Media Created". So, just to be clear for myself and others who may run across this, when you refer to a "Windows" date, that's what I was calling a "file attribute" or similar, correct? They are the attributes of the file that any non-image file would have, whereas the "EXIF" dates like "CreateDate" are those embedded into a file using EXIF that only apply to images and videos. If anyone can provide any insight it would be a massive help to not pulling the rest of my hair out.Thanks for the response.

When trying to run the script below or botched versions I've tried to create (have zero scripting knowledge and have been trying to learn) no matter what I cannot get it to pull the oldest and apply it to all other tags. Though I do know and use Exiftool daily to modify video assets. I've found several posts pertaining to image files for something like this, but not video files. I can get to my wanted net result through either of those results. ![]() I essentially want to run a recursive command that will run through the assets pulling the oldest date & time from all the available tags and then either set the FileModify or CreateDate OR at very least just update the filename. Nearly all files have correct EncodeDate, TrackCreateDate and/or MediaCreateDate, but I'm biff'd on a mass rename using the wrong EXIF commands and ended up with files names, FileModifyDates and CreateDates. I've been wrangling nearly 40TBs of videos that were recovered from 2 crashed RAIDs. Jason Paul Michaels Asks: EXIFTOOL set MP4 to earliest date recursive - Can it be done? ![]()
