I have 1,500-some Facebook photos all showing with the same date as they come from a data download. Through the magic of regular expressions, I have generated a TSV file where each row has the filename on the left and the correct timestamp on the right, example being: 13170030_982552864458_69609533_o_982552864458.jpg{tab}7/29/2017 4:47:23 PM How would I go about batch changing the taken/modified/created dates for these files in Automator or Shortcuts? I also have a Windows PC so if this isn't possible with MacOS but you know of a solution using Powershell or a COTS Windows product off-of-the-top-of-your-head, that's fine with me.
