that's very likely, but fortunately the best tool for the job,
exiftool, runs on mac/win/unix, so it really doesn't matter what

help will write the file modification date to the exif date.

Interesting. Would you know if this tool works in a batch mode in
Windows? In Linux, I can type up bash commands in a few minutes to do
this job automatically for any number of files. But if the tool doesn't
work in batch mode in Windows, the user is going to take ages to do this
one by one for his thousands of pictures!
