I need to remove all metadata from the pictures in one folder, except for the date it was taken.

Is there a way to remove all metadata with an exception?

The current command I use is:

exiftool -all= *.jpg

I tried to read the man for exiftool but I'm still having trouble with the command.

Thanks!

Figured it out finally:

exiftool -all= -tagsFromFile @ -*date* *.jpg

    You can also use: -AllDates for the dates. You can use -P and -overwrite_original_in_place to preserve filesystem modification (+creation) date. `exiftool -P -all= -tagsFromFile @ -AllDates -overwrite_original_in_place *.jpg` – pd12 Apr 02 '18 at 03:26
