Did not seem to work with someplace change, but when I used the Sequential Increment option, it changed 40 files. Worked.

I bought the tool in the hopes that it would fit my needs, but it didn’t at the time. In just a few short days the developer made significant changes to the app based on my feedback and published a new version with the needed features. Crazy.To the Dev: Thank you for the update! When working with a large batch some files have different metadata, in exiftool (which I’m assuming you use in the backend) we can set the priority order for date replacement so that whichever field is present, or when multiple fields are present the highest priority one will be used to set the date. Can you implement this? so instead of a radio button have a list where some can be enabled/disabled and dragged on the list for priority? Additionally exiftool can extract date and time from the filename by setting the format for it to parse and look for. It would be super helpful to be able to extract dates from filenames as one of the options in the priority for exiftool…Here’s a sample command I’ve used…exiftool -r -P -overwrite_original -progress -v2 -if '$filename =~ /(?:19|20)\d{2}(?:0[1-9]|1[0-2])(?:0[1-9]|[12]\d|3[01])_(?:[01]\d|2[0-3])(?:[0-5]\d){2}/ and not $DateTimeOriginal and not $CreateDate and not $QuickTime:CreateDate and not $QuickTime:CreationDate and not $TrackCreateDate and not $MediaCreateDate and not $TIFF:DateTime' '-FileCreateDate<${filename;s/.*?(\d{8}_\d{6}).*/$1/}'

Thank you for your feedback! Version 2 has been released today, and it includes the features you mentioned. You can now drag and drop entire folders, including subfolders, as your source. Additionally, support for selecting different metadata fields has been added, including TIFF and Quicktime (see File Metadata). Let me know if you run into anything else!
