Thanks Gerry,

It works fine. I've got another request.
When working with stacks, it would be nice if the "Exposure Compensation"
would be displayed as well in the Images pane. Exiv2 calls that "Exposure
bias" like  "Exposure bias   : -2 EV" and uses "ExposureBiasValue" as
variable.
For me that's an even more important one than the photo date.
(Perhaps I should register a feature request, but I don't know if I do a
very simple request or a difficult request. Please let me know if you want
me to file a feature request for this.)

Harry

Hello,

I have commited a fix to show the correct date for "Capture Date" as was
intended.   Trunk ,Rev 4484.  I'll look into adding a second date field for
the "File Modification Date/Time"

Best Regards,
