Set filedate on photo according to EXIF
              =======================================

                        File date and time
                        ------------------

On Linux,  *BSD and  so on,  files have a  "last modified"  date and
time.

It is easy to have a sorted  view of your photo directory, sorted by
date.

                       Different timestamps
                       --------------------

Sometimes, the photo files have a different "last modified" date and
time. Perhaps  you moved the  files to  a different directory,  or a
different computer.

                               EXIF
                               ----

The EXIF  information is  a set  of data that  your camera  or smart
phone has put into the JPG file.  One of the elements of this set is
the actual date and time you made the photo.

So, if we can extract that information we can restore the right date
and time for our photo file.

                              Jhead
                              -----

Jhead is just the right tool for that.
See: https://github.com/4dvn/jhead

Issue the following command:

   jhead -ft IMG_1234.JPG

where "IMG_1234.JPG" is  the name of the photo  file which timestamp
you want to set.

It is easy to do a whole directory:

   jhead -ft *.JPG

So, make  sure your camera  has the right  date and time  before the
start of the photo shoothotoshoot and you are good to go :)
