Hi all, I would like to see the option to have XBMC use the date the folder was created for each movie that has it's own folder as the date added to the library instead of the date it was added to the library or the date it was refreshed.
I have every movie in it's own folder. If I edit a .nfo or change the fan-art saved in the folder on a movie that I added a long time ago I don't want it to show up in the recently added when I refresh it. Also if I re-scan all of my movies it would be nice for it to just automatically display the recently added in the correct order.
This would probably need to be a user selected option because some people don't have each movie in its own folder and I'm sure some people may not want it to behave this way even if they have each movie in its own folder.
If I can already do this with advancedsettings.xml please let me know.
Thanks

It didn't make it into Eden but it will be available in the next release by default: ea3835e1c14f530b15cb. Thse changes use the video files modification date (or in case of tvshows the directories creation date) and stores that into a field named dateAdded in the database. That field is then used for sorting by Date Added and for things like Recently Added etc.

Yup now we can mess around without our girlfriends/wifes smacking us in the face afterwards because the RecentlyAdded list has changed and contains some rather old movies

meaning they like the latest movie added to the server, not the latest scanned because we choose to to rebuild our libraries

Nope I implemented it on a file basis so it will take the modification date of the file and it does not require any folders.
Hm how is it possible that the modification date is earlier than the creation date? I didn't that was possible. Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting.
