Date with media files
Brought to you by:

I would like to have the option of adding a date to
the pictures in my family tree. At the moment I add
the date to the title of the picture, but that is (in
my opinion) not the right place, as you cannot have
these dates tranlated for example.
I added an extra line using Edit GEDCOM. Now a date
and time editbox is added to the multimedia edit box
with the date I added, but it is not shown when the
picture is shown.
I would like to see this also in the medialist and
when the media is shown in other places.

Proposed changes:
functions_print.php:
Add Date entry to media display
edit_interface.php:
Add DATE tag to OBJE editbox
I have not (yet) been able to get the date also to show in
medialist.php.
functions_print.php: Add Date entry to media display
edit_interface.php: Add DATE tag to OBJE editbox
medialist.php: print date in medialist
functions.php: return date with OBJE record

A more extensive description of the proposed changes:
functions.php:
The function find_media_in_record returns the data from the
media record in an array. To also return the date this has
to be aaded to this function. This means finding the DATE
entry in the media record and copying this into the $media
array.
medialist.php:
After the name and before the links the printing of the
date is added.
functions_print.php:
In function print_main_media a section is added to print
the date. The date printed is not linked to the calendar.
edit_interface.php:
For the main OBJE edit box a DATE entry is added to the
OBJE entry.
I did not remove OBJE from the $nondatefacts array, as this
results in a date and time box. I don't think a time-entry
will be needed.
I would also like this feature. I like the fact that dates can be precise or vague and think that pictures / media should have a date on them.
Yes, a recorded date on media items would be useful.
Should be configurable on GEDCOM configuration like individual / family / source / repository
