  1. Thank you! I just wanted to clarify this DOES change the metadata values as well, but if you have a file organization system by date (via lightroom for example), then you’ll have to take that extra step.

  2. Why changing date-taken of multiple photo’s on command line?
    Select the photos you want to change in a map and click the menu-dots. There you’ll find an option to change the date-taken.
