1.7.2: Creation date/time is not read on Linux (EXT4)

[Mojave]

XnView: MP 1.7.2 - 64 bit
OS: Arch Linux 64bit

Creation date/time field is empty for files that have one. On EXT4 filesystems (like mine) this is called a "Birth" date. I have verified my files have one using the stat command.

Code: Select all

stat test.jpg

File: test.jpg

Effect: Creation date/time is not properly read on Linux

To reproduce:
1. Check metadata of image or view as Details on Linux
2. Creation date/time and File Created Date will be empty.
