Are there any webcam programs that save the date in the meta data?

I currently use Cheese, but it isn't really compatible with Shotwell because it doesn't save the date in the meta data - only the file name.

I could run a command to get the file name and put it into the meta data, but I wonder if there is another webcam utility that will save the date in the meta data automatically, or if there is a way for cheese to do so.

UPDATE - newer photos taken with cheese seem to. Maybe a backup / resore issue. I'd still be interested in others that do save it.

Guvcview should do it. It has pretty good EXIF metadata support (and EXIF Date is the most basic one anyway). Just checked a capture and dates are definitely saved in METADATA.

You could try mencoder / VLC for other webcam capture options.
