dandv 0 Report post Posted June 16, 2008 Feature request: when setting the timestamp for multiple files via Alt+E, please allow setting of only the file date and keeping the current file time, if the file time field is left blank. Use case: I have a bunch of MP3s, and the timestamp of each file is set to the duration of that mp3. For example, if the MP3 is 3 minutes 54 seconds, the filetime will be 03:45:00. The file date is set to the date the CD album was released. The way I set the filetimes is using a small Perl script that I wrote. The script reads the MP3, calculates the duration, then sets the file time. So if I have 12 MP3s in an album, they'll have different filetimes indicating their duration. Now I want to set the date of all these MP3s to the album release date. If I select all the files in NDN and try to set the date via File Attributes, I must specify both the file time and the file date. If I only specify the file date, NDN won't do anything. If I do specify the file time, that will overwrite the existing file time, which I want to preserve. Thanks for considering this, Dan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AngelsHolocaust 0 Report post Posted June 16, 2008 Hi Dan, it's already on the list: [*] file attributes (Dandv) 1. Allow entering only part of the time and zero the missing parts. E.g "18:03" for "18:03:00", "14" for "14:00:00" 2. Same for date, but only use the current year: "15.04" instead of "15.04.2005", but "15" is invalid. 3. Allow 2-digit years: "1.1.03" now produces 1.1.2051. 4AH. multiple files: insert date/time of the current "selected" file 5AH. multiple files: empty inputline means to use the current data of the file Quite some things to add to the code...
