Support copying a movie's release date metadata field to the file's modified date

Help & Support

For images, DOpus allows setting the modified date to a date read from EXIF metadata, e.g., SetAttr MODIFIED=taken.

I’d be nice if that also works for other file and metadata types. Specifically I’d like to apply it to movie files (.mp4) as in SetAttr MODIFIED=releasedate.

Not fully documented, but in the meantime you can try this script.

Then use:

LogicRun VARS "release=releasedate as ""D#YYYYMMdd T#HH:mm:ss""" 
[[
COMMANDS
1,=return "$release$" != "" ? ("SetAttr MODIFIED=""$release$""") : ""
]]

Note that we're embbebing some Evaluator code to check if a releasedate is set. Otherwise do nothing for that file.
