How to ignore EXIF/IPTC for "Album date" ?

Hi again :)

There is the very useful option in Admin panel that called `"Use latest image date"` but EXIF/IPTC break this function.

When I upload picture and if this picture contain EXIF/IPTC then ZenPhoto read date not from file but from EXIF (Date modified / Date taken or Date digitized, I'm not sure) and instead of correct `latest uploaded image date` I get date from EXIF.

Example:
08 September 2007 instead of 10 February 2009

Is there any way to say ZP not use date from EXIF for Album date? I guess it must be here - `class-image.php` around `$this->getExifData();`

And if no, how to disable EXIF/IPTC at all?

    Or better I ask how to teach ZenPhoto return `filemtime()` value in the first place?

    You can use the `getFullimageURL` function to access the image directly and get the `filemtime()` I guess.

    Sorry, what you want to do is not available in Zenphoto. You would have to purge your image data of the IPTC date. I am not sure why this would be the wrong date unless something in your workflow is not correct.
