This script processes files in a specified directory and updates their modification and creation dates based on available EXIF metadata (DateTimeOriginal, CreateDate, ModifyDate). If the original dates are missing or invalid, it attempts to use alternative timestamps. The script also updates corresponding .MP4 files if they exist. I used this sc…

	#!/bin/bash

	# Set the directory to process (update this path to the desired directory)
	directory="/path/to/your/photos"

	# Toggle to ignore the incorrect modification date check (set to "true" or "false")
	ignore_incorrect_mod_date=false

	# Echo the directory being processed
	echo "Processing directory: $directory"
