Hello,

thanks for the additional info.

However, I cannot reproduce the problem. I have just taken some old
images of mine and restitched them (starting freshly, not using the old
project file) and indeed as you decribed Create Date|Date/Time
Original was copied from the first image:
ametzler at argenau:/tmp/Sospel$ exiftool testimage_fused.tif | grep -E 'Create Date|Date/Time Original'
Date/Time Original              : 2008:09:02 10:03:15
Create Date                     : 2008:09:02 10:03:15

Could you doublecheck whether some local setting is broken by
temporarily moving away ~/.hugin and checking with a simple project
(starting from scratch)?
