Where is the timestamp on this Ubuntu 20.04 screenshot?

Hi,

In the attached thumbnail, you will see a screenshot I made this afternoon of a glitch (an unexplained download) happening on an Ubuntu 20.04 OS.

I wanted to check the timestamp on the screenshot, so I pressed properties.

But when Properties opens, there is no timestamp.

I made the screenshot at 17:26 (5:26 PM), but there is no record of the time in the properties section of the screenshot.

Check like this

stat </path_to/filename>

Example

mafoelffen@Mikes-ThinkPad-T520:~/Pictures$ stat ./Screenshot_lunar-lander-05_2022-12-11_01:28:25.png

The metadata of the png saved with the ScreenShot utility does not have the timestamp

mafoelffen@Mikes-ThinkPad-T520:~/Pictures$ identify ./Screenshot_lunar-lander-05_2022-12-11_01:28:25.png

exiftool will show lots of data in the header of image files.
