Better than shitting into a fan.
Problem: I have about 300 photos taken with an old cell phone that apparently didn't record EXIF information. Currently, when I try to import the photos into any photo management tool, the tool shows that the pictures were taken on the date that they were copied from the phone, instead of on the date that they were actually taken.

Description of requirements: The filenames of the photos, however, are standardized and correctly reflect the time the photos were taken:

MM-DD-YY_XXSS.jpg

MM = Month
DD = Day
YY = Year
XX = Hour (24 hour format)
SS = Second

Is there a way to make a simple tool that can take the information from the filenames and throw it into the EXIF data?

Nice-to-haves: I prefer something with a GUI and that I can run on windows, but I do have access to a Raspberry Pi with Debian :)

Thank you in advance!

Advanced Renamer can extract time/date from a pattern in the filename and apply it to eg the file creation date.

Nirsoft Bulk File Changer can copy the file creation date to an EXIF tag.

E: if step 2 is necessary at all that is

Thank you, this worked! Step 1 was all that was needed.
