implemented. So closing it for now.

Title:
  timestamp panorama image file date to internal exif date

Status in Hugin - Panorama Tools GUI:
  Won't Fix

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.
