16251	Change attachment image uploads to have post_date corresponding to EXIF created date	Otto42		"General idea is that if an image has EXIF data about its creation time, we should use that as the post_date in the attachment post, since the attachment post is the representation in WordPress of the attachment file.

Advantages: The posts will show their proper dates of creation by simply using the_date and similar functions.

This code will do it as a plugin. A patch would be much simpler and more generally beneficial.

add_filter('wp_update_attachment_metadata','attachment_redater',10,2);
function attachment_redater($data, $id) {
	if (!empty($data['image_meta']['created_timestamp'])) {
		$post=get_post($id);
		$post->post_date = gmdate('Y-m-d H:i:s', $data['image_meta']['created_timestamp']);
		wp_update_post($post);
	}
	return $data;
