Comment:
This is not so simple - post_date is implicitly assumed to be the date of
upload:
- Currently the Media Editor shows you the "Upload Date" of the image. The
plugin code you posted above changes that to the creation date, which is
obviously wrong. Same thing when you view the attachment - it says
"Published on [post_date]".
- WP defaults to storing media in yyyy/mm based folders - based on upload
date. Again potential for confusion if you change post_date.
IMO it may be better to leave post_date as the uploaded date, and read the
creation date metadata manually as/when needed.
