Please fall back to CreateDate when DateTimeOriginal not available

	A number of my files have CreateDate set but not DateTimeOriginal. In this case, I think it would be sensible to fall back to setting the item's "Captured" value to "CreateDate" rather than leaving it empty.

	for a temp measure this could be done via an sql query... UPDATE items SET captured = created WHERE captured IS NULL however, I agree with your request. Editing the class for Item_Module_Core in gallery/modules/gallery/models/item.php near the $this->blah's lines and adding $this->captured = time(); would suffice I think, as I think the captured date is set via the exif module after image created. (This is just quick thinking though -OR- perhaps editing the exif module to copy over the created date if no captured date is set... (assuming you're using the exif module)
