Using "Date Taken" in photo name

[andrew8088]

I'd like to rename photos using the "Date Taken" attribute; however, when I choose the type "Taken (Original)" under Auto Date, nothing appears. Only type that are "current" have any values. In the photo listing above, the "Taken (Original)" column is blank. I know these photos have this exif data; it shows in the photo properties, and other renaming utilities can use it. I'd like to use BRU, though, because it's so powerful. What am I doing wrong?

I should mention I'm on Windows 7, and the photos were taken _way_ after 1970.

Please read the FAQ:
In older versions I could see the "Date Taken" information, but in the latest version this column is blank. Why?
Extracting EXIF data from JPG pictures is very slow, so this is now disabled by default. To enable it, just tick the "Extract EXIF data" menu item and then refresh your screen (F5).

Thanks! Sorry about that!

On mine though it seems to be looking for "Taken" as a tag rather than "Date Taken". So it finds nothing in the "Taken" tag and doesn't find the "Date Taken" info. Any help?
