The command you provided is using the "exiftool" utility to modify the dates of the files in a specified directory.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
exiftool
is a command-line tool used for reading, writing, and editing metadata in files."-AllDates+=0:0:0 1:0:0"
is an argument passed to the exiftool command. It consists of two parts:AllDates+=0:0:0
and1:0:0
.AllDates
is an option that specifies modifying all date tags in the file.+=0:0:0
is used to add a time interval to the current date. In this case, it adds no years, no months, and no days (0:0:0).1:0:0
specifies that it should add 1 hour (1:0:0) to the existing time.
${path-to-directory}
is a placeholder for the directory path where you want to apply this modification. You should replace it with the actual path.
So, when executed, this command will add 1 hour to each file's dates (created, modified, and accessed) in the specified directory.
