Title: By Rip Date/By Album view
Post by: Dave T on August 27, 2003, 08:49:03 am

Is there a way to do this?  I know about the "recently ripped" view, but this gives you a flat list of all songs.  I'd like to be able to access individual cd's that were recently ripped.

Thanks.

You can make a new view scheme like Volume Name / Date Imported (or whatever).

Sort (and save the sorting) by "Date Imported" if you like.

Should do just what you want.

Thanks, Matt, but "Date Imported" isn't available as a "Component Type" when creating a view.  That's the problem.

Am I missing something?

By the way, unless you guys moved to the Azores, the time is off on the postings on the board.

In version 9.1, you should be able to use "Date Imported" as a scheme item.  I'm not sure about 9.0.

Also, you should be able to sort by "Date Imported" in either version, which may be all you really need.

Thanks.

(p.s. you can set your time zone in your Interact profile)

Ok, a little progress on this.  I've created a view scheme: By Date Created, By Album Artist, By Album.  This almost gives me what I want.  The problems are that the date isn't using a date, it's using a date/time.  I'd like to format the dates to be a whole date, so I don't have a seperate entry in the grouping for the time of each rip, I want it to show all albums together that were ripped on a particular date.  Also, is there a way to force it to sort most recent first?

Thanks!

Hi Dave,

If I'm not wrong we're looking for the same  :)

You can sort for most recent first with this criteria:
[Media Type]=[Audio] ~sort=[Date Imported]-d

David:

Huh.  This doesn't work for me.  The "tilde" (~) keeps it from working.  Is that a typo?  If I say [Media Type]=[Audio] ~sort=[Date Imported]-d, that works, but it's the same as what I had.  What's the "-d"? Is that to make the order descending?  

Also, do you know of a way to get the time component out of the dates?

Hi Dave,

Yes, the modificator -d gives you the descending order as you want. I just copied and pasted the formula...  don'tk know why the (~) appeared and what does it mean, 'cause my formula is without it.

I don't know the answer to your second question. Sorry.
