Time stamp on jpg

[nick]

I am trying to find the time that a jpg was created. I am using the
File.atime(file) code. My problem is it will tell me the date that it
was created but the time is 00:00:00, I was wanting to know if anyone
else has ever came across this problem. I am using ruby 1.86
Thanks
Nick

Depending on where the JPEG came from, you might try extracting the EXIF
data too. If the image is coming from a camera, it's very likely to
have a timestamp for when it was captured.

Search Rubyforge for 'exif', there are a number of projects.
