Copy from lastmodifieddate not working

Help & Support
1

While trying to sync the date and time info in some JPGs I noticed that these commands work as expected:

SetAttr META lastmodifieddate:createdate datetaken:createdate datedigitized:createdate
SetAttr META createdate:datetaken lastmodifieddate:datetaken datedigitized:datetaken
SetAttr META createdate:datedigitized lastmodifieddate:datedigitized datetaken:datedigitized

but this one doesn't:

SetAttr META createdate:lastmodifieddate datetaken:lastmodifieddate datedigitized:lastmodifieddate

Is this a bug or am I doing anything wrong?

It should be createdate:modifydate etc. rather than createdate:lastmodifieddate etc.

But it's an easy mistake to make, since the keywords after the : are the same as the column names before the : in the other cases, so we'll make a code change to make both work.

Thanks :slight_smile:

The "last" in "lastmodifieddate" sounded a bit awkward anyway.

While you are at it: wouldn't "date" + past tense be the most consistent way of naming the columns and keywords?
