Date from filename option in "Adjust Time Date" tool
SUMMARY
I often find myself manually adding a date to pictures which have the date in
the filename. For instance, pictures send through the WhatsApp messaging app
have the following format: IMG-20110930-WA0000.jpg. Screenshots in Android look
like this: Screenshot_20181013-182811~2. And profile pictures "Person Name
20170502_210305.jpg".
As you can see, the date (and sometimes the time) can be inferred by the
filename. So if you want to save that date to the file itself (since they do
not have metadata due to privacy reasons), you can either do it manually or
using exiftool with the following command:
exiftool "-datetimeoriginal<filename"
"/home/user/Pictures/IMG-20110930-WA0000.jpg"
I actually use a simple bash script to do so, but it would be cool if the
"Adjust Time Date" tool included an option to automatically extract the date
from the filename in a flexible way, as exiftool does.
