Large number of photos with wrong dates

[pedronery]

Hi everyone,

I'm currently dealing with a situation involving my NAS 223j (Synology), which houses approximately 15 thousand family pictures and videos. Strangely, around 1 thousand of them seem to be incorrectly sorted under a single date (10/12/2023). I suspect this may have occurred during the process of copying them from Google Photos to my PC and then to the NAS.

I recently discovered Bulk Rename Utility as a potential solution, but I find its numerous features a bit overwhelming. Could someone with experience using this tool kindly provide a screenshot or step-by-step guidance on how to configure the settings? Specifically, I'm looking to replace the incorrect date on these pictures with the oldest date available in their metadata/exifdata.

Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

I don't know that BRU can select from "the oldest date available in their metadata/exifdata".
But it should be able to select one of the EXIF data fields & use that to rename the files.

What settings have you tried?
