It would be great if the generated HTML gallery could show the date/time of the image it shows (the date/time of the EXIF data, not the file).

This is possible for the album, but not for the images themself.

The HTML gallery plugin which comes with digiKam 6.4.0 (and earlier versions) already makes it possible for a gallery theme to generate HTML which includes the digiKam datetime for the image, and/or the Exif datetime (if defined for the image).

Whether or not the datetime is displayed below the thumbnails is dependent upon the gallery and applied visual style. Most themes do not choose to display this information below thumbnails, but some themes do. For example, I've just created a new "HTML5 Responsive" theme which comes with four styles, and the "Feed" style does show the digiKam datetime below each thumbnail. (It takes the value from the image element, not from the exif elements. But the two values always appear to be synchronised in the examples I've seen.)

If you want to see a gallery generated using a different structure, layout, or visual style, then your best bet is to create your own gallery theme by following this how-to guide:

https://cgit.kde.org/digikam.git/tree/core/dplugins/generic/tools/htmlgallery/themes/THEME_HOWTO

Given that the digiKam HTML gallery plugin does now support this ability, I'm marking this request as resolved.
