Option to use folder date for recently added movies

**Jezz_X** · 2012-04-02 09:34

Modified is when the actual file changed eg: like checking a md5
Created is when the file gets put on the HDD

at least thats my thinking because my files are the same

Most of my files are this way and I'm sure many other people are the same. If possible I would suggest use creation date or folder date or even better make it an option which way you want it to behave.

Reduce possible option as much as possible. This will only confuse people

Cutting things will always make things shorter... not longer Rofl

* jmarshall slices a strip of paper up the middle almost to the end, and folds them out - magic, a cut makes things longer!

That's voodoo :dodgy:

I assume this as a whole is already in git because I seem to be having an issue with it Sad

Aside from the issue of Windows (and maybe other OS's) need to use date created not date modified or all old movies you get never appear on recently added.
It seems that stacked movies always go to the top of the list. I have one movie that is stacked and the file modified dates are 25th may 2005 on both files but it is appearing right at the top of the recently added list above stuff that was created in 2012.

which with these 2 combined basically renders recently added useless for me because my "new old" stuff never shows up on the recently added

My guess is stack's doing return correctly from a stat().

I suspect using max(ctime, mtime) would be a reasonable way to get the combined times handled suitably.
