This is a python script for editing date taken metadata for photos. To set it, the name
of the photos are used. Usually when a photo is taken the date is saved in the name like
IMG-yyyymmdd-hhmmss.format.
This is useful when you want to upload your photos using a provider like Google Photos that
sorts them by the time the photo was taken. Sometimes this metadata is not set by default,
or the photo was sent/received using an app like Whatsapp. The name remains, but the date taken
is erased.
This script supports whatsapp name formatting and the usual type of name.
Run the script and insert into the console the path of your folder. It will recursively traverse through
all the folders and files and edit the date taken metadata.
