Windows OS version
Windows 11
ImageGlass version
9.4.1.15
ImageGlass release
Classic
1️⃣ Describe the feature
Display date taken / image created in app title bar for files that have XMP metadata (e.g. PNG/JXL).
2️⃣ How to use feature
Include XMP in DateTimeAuto fallback chain, and perhaps implement a specific tag (XMPDateTime).
3️⃣ Additional context
While we are on a related topic, is it still not possible to display ColorSpace for wide gamut images? Display P3 images (PNG) are displayed with sRGB in the title bar.

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by locating the DateTimeAuto fallback chain and the title-bar metadata display, then trace how XMPDateTime could be included for PNG/JXL files. Done means the app displays the creation date from XMP metadata; treat the separate Display P3/ColorSpace question as additional scope to clarify.
