for the bash error : remove the star from your command
Try ls /Volumes/DAD/Output/ALL_PHOTOS/date-unknown

Alternatively, to shorten the argument list size (that's the total number of characters on the command) you can :
cd /Volumes/DAD/Output/ALL_PHOTOS/
exiftool -overwrite_original -r -P "-AllDates<FileModifyDate" *
Hi, thanks so much for your reply, removing the dot did the trick!
It's now slowly chugging through all of the files
Thanks again
Thanks @palijn again 😅😅
Hi,
you're a lifesaver for making this, I've used the tool to fix an export of my dads photos after he passed away.
The libray has 170k+ files and your tool worked great, however the EXIF command fails: exiftool -overwrite_original -r -P "-AllDates<FileModifyDate" /Volumes/DAD/Output/ALL_PHOTOS/*
With: -bash: /usr/local/bin/exiftool: Argument list too long
I appreciate EXIFtool isnt your s/w, but I can't seem to get it working with your instructions.
Also as a secondary question, there were 4.6k photos without a date, is there a way to see a list of what those are?
Any help is hugely appreciated.
Thanks
