Image creation date question

    Hello. When an image is attached to an email and uploaded via Postie I see that the creation date becomes the time it is uploaded. Is there a way of capturing the original creation date of the image for use within a post? (I can likely manage the data fine so long as I can know if there is a way of getting that information at the time of upload prior to the server setting the new date/time). Thanks.

    You might try looking for a plugin that extracts the meta data from the image.

    That’s just it, I think that the meta is overwritten when it is uploaded to the Unix server. I was hoping to get confirmation of this somehow. I don’t see a way of extracting EXIF created_on data but I could be wrong. Never looked for this stuff before.

    The file meta data is not sent via email so there is no date to use.
