File Multi Tool 7 4+

The Ultimate File & Photo Tweaking Tool for MacOS

CORRECT EXIF DIGITAL PHOTO & VIDEO SHOOTING TIMESTAMPS

File Multi Tool 7 allows you to manipulate JPEG, RAW & video content creation timestamps (EXIF DateTimeOriginal, DateTimeDigitized, video content and media creation dates) at will by setting them to specific times or batch adjusting them by adding and removing time (useful for correcting the timestamps of images taken with a digital camera with a incorrectly set clock and to compensate for timezone changes).

CORRECT FINDER SORTING FOR DIGITAL PHOTOS & VIDEOS

File Multi Tool 7 also allows you to synchronize the file creation and modification dates with the shooting dates of JPEG, RAW or video content creation dates, so that files sort properly in the Finder and other systems.

CHANGE, ADD & REMOVE EXIF, IPTC & VIDEO META-DATA

File Multi Tool 7 allows the most commonly used EXIF & IPTC meta-data tags, such as copyright & owner information, camera & lens specifications, some exposure information and much else besides, to be directly manipulated.

You can strip EXIF, GPS & IPTC information from a file altogether, remove only GPS and IPTC location tags or add or change individual tags.

TOTAL FILE CREATION & MODIFICATION DATE CONTROL

File Multi Tool 7 gives you total control over file creation and modification dates, setting them to specific times and dates, adding or removing time or simply removing them altogether.

USING DATES EMBEDDED IN THE FILE NAME

File Multi Tool 7 can extract file date information embedded in file names and use this information to set the various file dates. This feature is highly flexible and configurable and covers almost any imaginable situations.

USING DATES TAKEN FROM FILES OF THE SAME NAME IN A DIFFERENT FOLDER HIERARCHY

Many image and video processing applications have a tendency of losing your files' meta-data. As long as you keep the originals around, you can use File Multi Tool to transfer file dates from your original files to the processed files.

INCREMENTING DATES FROM A KNOWN START DATE

In other situations, especially when dealing with scanned photos, your image files may have no creation date information at all. You can use File Multi Tool to add this information by starting from an approximate date & time and adding a small time increment for each successive file, thus ensuring that your photos show up in the correct order in your image management software.

SETTING MAC FILE FLAGS

File Multi Tool supports setting all common Mac file system flags. You can set whether or not file extensions appear in the Finder, batch lock or unlock files, set or remove legacy creation & type codes, restart the Finder in a special mode that shows invisible files, batch set Finder labels and force Finder updates.

SHOWING & DELETING INVISIBLE FILES

File Multi Tool can delete invisible files, such as .DS_Store, that can lead to problems when delivering files to non-Mac systems and play havoc with Unix tools such as version control and archiving tools.

On top of this File Multi Tool has a special "Show Invisible Files" feature hidden in the "Tools" menu that switches the Finder to a special mode in which invisible files become visible.
