The <year>, <month>, etc. date tags pull the date from the file
attributes, which are available for any file format (bmp, png, ...).
They could have been called <fileyear> <filemonth> ...

Exif data access has always to be done explicitly:
<Exif_Photo_DateTimeOriginal.year><##Exif_Photo_DateTimeOriginal.month><##Exif_Photo_DateTimeOriginal.day>

We could add this to the drop down list to give it as a preset. Note
that you can easily copy and paste these tag names from the image
inspector.

Please ask questions on our forum if you don't know how to use Phatch or
if you want to change the behaviour of Phatch. These are not technical
bugs, but more design issues. Of course we are happy you use phatch and
give feedback. Thanks!

Bug description:
The <year>, <month>, etc. date tags pull the date from exif "date" field.  However, it should pull from "original date" field as the programs that rotate the images (or modify them to fix redeye, etc.) update the exif "date" field.  The original date is the one you care about.  If that field is not entered, it should default to the basic date field, but the main one should be "original date".

Thank You.
