Re: [slim] Windows: update file modified date based on created date
That's perfect Steve, thank you - exactly what I was looking for.
In case anyone else wants to use this (and so I can remember what I did
when I need to use it again!), I did find I had to Google the command to
pick up a small typo (Get-ChildItem, rather than Get-Child-Item). Here's
the revised version:
$files = Get-ChildItem c:\music -recurse
foreach ($f in $files) { $f.LastWriteTime = $f.CreationTime }

Whoops! I was typing it on my phone and must have added an extra dash.

Thanks for the tip, I'll investigate for future changes. Still have the
current issue though of course!
Here's a quick way you can do it using Windows Powershell (
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968929 to download the newest version,
unless you have Windows 7, where it's already included)
Let's say you have a folder with all of your music files called c:\music
Open Powershell and type the following two commands (hit enter after each):
$files = Get-Child-Item c:\music -recurse
foreach ($f in $files) { $f.LastWriteTime = $f.CreationTime }
That should do it. It will change the modified date of every
filesystem object inside c:\music to match its own creation date.
Standard disclaimer: This is offered with no guarantee or warranty,
make a backup of your files before running this, etc, etc. It just
worked quite nicely for me on a test folder on my machine, so test it
on your system and let me know if it works.

[slim] Windows: update file modified date based on created date
SqueezeCenter lists 'New Music' based on modified date rather than created date. Therefore if I go through updating artwork, or any other tag data, I lose the natural order. The created date is untouched, and seems to be much more reliable for reflecting when files entered my library. 1) Can I use this for determining new music instead of the modified date? 2) If not, as I suspect, does anyone know of a utility to update the file modified date based on created date? I've found a few which allow manual stipulation of a date, but not which will perform batch updates based on another value. -- hunta hunta's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=333 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87887 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Windows: update file modified date based on created date
You have to admit, this problem is temporary in its very nature. :) Best avoided by tagging the albums properly the first time, so you won't have to revisit. Now to answer your questions: 1) I don't think so. 2) There are a lot of utilities to set the date to something specific, but I am not aware of any software that does exactly what you want. Your best bet would probably be to write something yourself, in e.g. .vba or Python. -- Soulkeeper -that is not dead which can eternal lie. and with strange aeons even death may die.- touch + duet + boom + radio / wrt160n/dd-wrt / sbs 7.5.1 or higher/win7(32b)/avira free Soulkeeper's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35297 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87887 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Unfortunately my vba / Python skills are totally non-existent, so if anyone has anything they can help with it would be most appreciated. -- hunta hunta's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=333 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87887 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Windows: update file modified date based on created date
I use the Custom Browse menu for new albums. For me it shows the albums in the order I added them to SBS. It is a bit slow on my setup though. I had to limit it to 200 albums to get it to show at all and still it sometimes chokes SBS. You could also import your SBS database into muso. Muso has a nice view where you can have the albums sorted by date added (a-z or z-a) the way you want to (and you can suppress single file albums, for example, from showing up if you like). I still keep the standard new music menu to check that any tag changes I make are picked up by SBS. -- vagskal 2 x SB3 (wired), Receiver (wired), Boom (wireless), Controller, iPeng on iPhone 4 iPad, muso on remote computer running Win 7 64-bit | 7.5.4 on Win XP vagskal's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20778 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87887 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
