Image PRESERVEDATE - does not preserve date

Help & Support
1

Hi Guys,

This is the "key-command" i use in a set of commands, handling moving and converting of
images and movie-files:
Image CONVERT=jpg PRESERVEDATE ROTATE=EXIF REPLACE=always QUALITY 85 NOLOSSLESS

I noticed lately, that the creation date of the converted images is not kept. The converted
images carry a creation date, which is set to the point in time, their were converted, and not
created (on the SD-Card by my camery i.e). The modified date is "reset" correctly to be the
same as before the conversion.

I expect the creation date to be the same when using PRESERVEDATE as an option, too.. ?!
I'm on DO v.10.0.4.1b.

Thanks in advance for any hints/ideas!
Rob.

We'll make it preserve the creation date as well in the next beta.

(FWIW, the current behaviour is correct as per what the docs say the arg does, but we can't think of a reason not to preserve both dates so we'll change the code and the docs as well.)
