Time & Date screenshot was taken

[makem2]

I took a screen shot of a bank account yesterday and the bank are asking me to prove the actual time it was taken.

The Properties of the screenshot only say 'yesterday'. Is there a way to recover the time and date taken?

I have not changed any default settings for files, screenshots or pictures so if it is not saved by default then I have lost it.

open the screenshot with gthumb. The 'i' icon will show the metadata. See (crop from) screenshot I just took of gthumb with opened screenshot of this page. Upper right shows exact date and time.

Edit: Even simpler, In Ubuntu at least, the default file name of the screenshot uses the time and date it was taken. That may be acceptable.

Yes, that is the naming convention of Xubuntu as well so unless you changed the saved screenshot name, that should be what it's called.

Many thanks, I renamed the file so I will use gthumb.

Worth knowing the file name includes the stamp, I had never noticed!
