Hi!

Just wanted to see if anyone else but me found it cool if you actually could use the different dates with View Scheme and smartlists.
Then you could:
1. Have a scheme showing files played each day (almost anyway since the database is limited to setting only the last date instead of each date a file is played)
2. Have a scheme showing days you imported different albums
3. Have smartlists showing 'files played last week' and such

Cool! Is it going to happen?

Thanks for your time,
/Martin

pretty sure you can already do this.

All the ones played in the last day:

lastplayed=<86400

(it's all done in seconds so you have to get your calculator out and hope your good at maths = 1 day = 60 seconds to make one minute * 60 minutes to make one hour * 24 hours to make one day so it's: 60x60x24xHoweverManyDaysYouWant)

Or for files played within the last week it's:
86400 * 7

lastplayed=<604800

etc. etc.

All date functions in MJ still need a lot of work and haven't been worked on much so dont worry too much

Yes I know the date functions are so so...and the seconds thing is a workaround. But if you wanted to view the songs played today, not 24 hours ago? There's a difference And it would be alot easier to track down a specific date than counting how many seconds ago that date was (besides, that number would be wrong the second after

No - That's what I thought at first with it.

But entering the search phraze I said returns any songs that were played within the last 24 hours not that were played at that specific time.

A bit confusing I know but it works - just give it a go and you'll see

The date functions are still to come so hopefully they'll be super easy when they do come.

I think lastplayed= is in minutes, not seconds. ?

[Marty3d]

But if you wanted to view the songs played today, not 24 hours ago?

Of course I meant I wanted the songs played from 00:00 to Current time, and the "not 24 hours ago" was meant to be "from now and 24 hours back"

Anyway, thanks for the info, I'll be waiting for proper date handling though

Cheers,

Marty,

When a song is being set for "lastplayed", it uses the number of seconds elapsed from 00:00:00 GMT, January 1, 1970.

So I think the guys could implement something for easier searching based off that time, someday.

Time will tell.

With Digital Photography, I would really like to create a view scheme by Date Created which will allow me to group all photos taken on a particular day. At the moment, adding "Date Created" to a view scheme brings up nothing. When you add grouping intervals, it gets messed up even more...

Ideally, would like to group by day, week, month or year. This would have to be intelligent. Weeks from Sunday / Monday -- as specified by system settings, Months as actual calendar months (Feb = 28 days, Mar = 31 etc.). Leap years also... This wouldn't be a true "Grouping Interval" as it is currently understood in MC.

My 2c worth.
