Methods to set the date
When invoked with file paths, you choose whether to set their modification times
- to the specified time
- to the date from the metadata (EXIF for JPG, HEIC, ffmpeg for videos)
- to a name auto-detected from the file name, ex:
IMG_20240101_010053.jpg→2024-01-01 01:00:53 - to a relative time
- to the specific time, set for a file, then shifts all the other relative to this
Full help
Everything can be achieved via CLI flag. See the --help.
Let's take fetching the time from the file name as an example.
Should you end up with files that keep the date in the file name, use the from-name command. In the help, you see that without setting format, it triggers an automatic detection of the time and date format.
$ touch-timestamp from-name 20240828_160619.heic
Changed 2001-01-01T12:00:00 → 2024-08-28T16:06:19: 20240828_160619.heic
