Actually the ticket was already a feature request.  Leave feature
requests in the bug tracker.  Label them as feature requests by setting
importance to wishlist, and maybe even adding a tag.  I will do this

Status in Hugin - Panorama Tools GUI: Triaged

Bug description:
It happens very often that your "shooting" date is days or weeks earlier than your "hugin pano creation" date. iPhoto on OSX (but also many other image gallery programs on Linux and Windows) import /sort/ show their images based on file date. If you want to keep your source images and your pano together, it would be great if you could automatically timestamp your pano file date/time to the internal exif date/time (if available).

This can be easily achieved using "ExifTool" (already used by Hugin) and "touch" (available on every MacOSX, *nix and *BSD system. For windows one could use use windows own "touch" (not standard and NOT free, but comes with the toolkits) or one could package (cygwin) "touch", which is GPLed Open Source.

I can't program it in C/C++, but I did program it in applescript for my own ImageFuser application (set enfused image file date/time to internal exif date/time).
It's really simple and I can easily explain the program flow and structure of my functions to a C/C++ programmer.
This could than become a checkbox on the "stitcher" panel: "Set panorama file date to exif date". I think it would complicate the "assistant" panel too much.

Just contact me and we can work it out.
