Date Taken Missing For Photos Before 1900

I’ve been using AR to rename my scanned images using the following:

IMG_<Img Year><Img Month><Img Day>_<Filesize>

It mostly works well for example:

https://1drv.ms/i/s!AhmvR4JSJH8Ohiseg3UpROjyKW1s

IMG_19000101_16658.jpg.

But I have a few images that date to before 1900 and it seems these are not handled correctly, such that the date is missing for example:

https://1drv.ms/i/s!AhmvR4JSJH8OhixfkwWWGz5zKo6z

IMG__16658.jpg where it should say IMG_18990101_16658.jpg


The ExifTool... tool button shows the correct date always so something goes wrong from Exiftool output to Advanced Renamer.

As far as I know, the relevant Exif metadata are just strings so I can’t see why there should be any constraints, such as NTP epoch for example.

A workaround is to use:

IMG_<ExifTool:DateTimeOriginal>_<Filesize>
