linux/shell: change a file's modify timestamp relatively?
- by index
My Canon camera produces files like IMG_1234.JPG and MVI_1234.AVI. It also timestamps those files. Unfortunately during a trip to another timezone several cameras were used, one of which did not have the correct time zone set - meta data mess.. Now I would like to correct this (not EXIF, the file's "modify" timestamp on disk).
Proposed algorithm:
1 read file's modify date
2 add delta, i.e. hhmmss (preferred: change timezone)
3 write new timestamp
Unless someone knows a tool or a combination of tools that do the trick directly, maybe one could simplify the calculation using epoch time (seconds since ..) and whip up a shell script.
Any help appreciated!
