**Exif to date** is a simple Nautilus script that takes a bunch of images and resets their modification date to the one corresponding to the EXIF tag.

If you're a Debian/Ubuntu user, just install {{:exif-to-date:exif-to-date_3_all.deb|the package}} (then enable the script with System -> Preferences -> Nautilus Scripts Manager).

Otherwise, download the script above to /home/yourusername/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts and make it executable.

== Alternatives ==

When I wrote exif-to-date, I ignored that the program **jhead**, present in Debian/Ubuntu repositories, allows one to do the same thing (compared to exif-to-date, it only lacks a graphic interface) by just giving the command:

  jhead -ft *.jpg

and the opposite (assuming pictures already have an EXIF header, otherwise add option "-mkexif") with

  jhead -dsft *.jpg
