Overview

SetEXIFData writes the most wanted EXIF data in an image- or movie-file.

Use a date from the Finder or retrieve the date/time from its file name, if present
You can add and increment EXIF dates, times and sequence numbers.
Data you can set includes document name, artist, copyright, date/time, latitude and longitude, and keywords
Renaming a file afterwards, using EXIF dates/times and sequence numbers, is supported
You can modify the Finder's 'Date create' and 'Date modified' dates
You can use an address from the Mac's Contacts to start geotagging

You can use SetEXIFData unregistered forever, with a batch processing limit of only 5 photos a time. A donation of €8 (approx. $9) is requested to remove this limit.

What's new in SetEXIFData

Version 8.0:

Note: Serial numbers are version independent, and thus remain valid for v6 and higher

Added:

For retrieving a date from a file name, where there's only YYYY-MM, you can now enter a default day in the 'Date/Time original'-field for Day.

Changed:

When geotagging a movie file, only XMP-group GPS-tags are used.

after installing the contained EXIFTOOL, I start the app SetEXIFData but only get the message "Could not find a valid EXIFtool installation." although I can access the exiftool in terminal... what's wrong?

Version 3.4 is available on the developer's site.

Excellent. It wasn't compatible with FileVault. Marc (developer) selflessly helped me to solve it, so please DONATE. He deserves it.

The official EXIFtool installer indicates that it places the binary in /usr/bin not /usr/local/bin: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/install.html#OSX I use EXIFtool as installed by MacPorts, so my copy is located in /opt/local/bin . Will SetEXIFData work with that out of the box, or do I need to make a symbolic link in /usr/local/bin to the actual binary?

I can't open it by typing "exiftool" in terminal, it just list some text after that... How can I uninstall this software? Help!

Excellent. This is the first piece of software that I've been able to find that will allow me to set EXIF dates for images that I have scanned. And the fact that I can add EXIF dates to a batch of images is great. I'll be making a donation. Well done!

I guess I don't get the concept. What means "set not edit"? Can't you see what was the EXIF data and just can set new data? I mean if there is an EXIF date and you want to change it - isn't that possible?? Sorry, to ask but it's not clear to me.

Seems to do what it says, though if you want to do more than 1 batch would be helpful if it didn't auto-quit. Aso the set creation date deosn't work.
