attr can be used to get any kind of file attribute, the file attribute 
is just a gio standard attribute or custom attributes such as the exif 
attributes

some special code could be added for the last modified date or the exif 
date in a specific format,  but in general the user must be able to 
specify the date field and the date format as well, so some special 
syntax should be introduced to specify the format such as %date{ 
%H-%M-%S }, or something like that.
