Option to use original capture date as "date created" of file

A very frustrating part of exporting using CaptureOne is its inability to carry over the original capture date to the exported file, be it a PNG, JPEG or other. Both the creation date and modification date of a file is set as the export time from CaptureOne.

Please add a feature to export using original capture time of the raw file.

Thanks



Current workaround

Download the exiftool package to edit the metadata of the exported file. Place both the JPEG and RAW files in the same directory and run your terminal prompt in this directory.

Use the following :

your_export_directory_here % exiftool "-DateTimeOriginal>FileCreateDate" -ext jpg -r .
