Creation date instead of alteration date? Make a option...

Why can I only use the alteration date as file name?
For video files or audio files is the start-date (creation date) more important.
Then, the title says when the action began.
Please allow at least the choice of date:
O Alteration date
O Creation date

Which version are you using?
That was added in version 2.08, nearly four years ago

2.10:
2.08 (15/10/2004)
Option for using Creation date instead of Modification date, in Date & time action.
Where?

It is caused by some translation errors in the german language file..
Code: Select all
<lblDTWhich Caption="Auswahl:"/>
<rbtDTWhichCreation Caption="Maske"/>
<rbtDTWhichModif Caption="Letzte Einstellung"/>
must be
Code: Select all
<lblDTWhich Caption="Datum auswählen:"/>
<rbtDTWhichCreation Caption="Erstellung der Datei"/>
<rbtDTWhichModif Caption="Letzte Änderung der Datei"/>
@antp: The current german translation says 'Auswahl:' (=Choice), 'Maske' (=Mask) and 'Letzte Einstellung' (=Last settings).. so it does not make sense at all

I do not understand your help
.
Mask(e) = creation date?

Yep, genau.
Da ist schlichtweg etwas falsch übersetzt oder falsch verstanden worden. Wenn die Datei German.lng (im Verzeichnis 'Languages') in den Zeilen 142 bis 144 wie eben genannt geändert wird, stimmt die Anzeige im Programm.
Sorry for my bad explanation. The function you are searching for is there, but the translation into german is wrong. It now says 'Maske' where it means 'Creation (Date)' and 'Letzte Einstellung' where it means 'Last modification'. If you switch renamer to english version you will see the correct field captions..

A bug in Windows (i think):
Copied files (hdd to hdd) get as Create-date, the date of the copy.
Aaargh.
But not, if I copy it from the camera to the HDD.

For Windows-related bugs I cannot help, unfortunately
If you check file properties in Windows Explorer you should see the same dates as what Ant Renamer uses.
bad4u >> thanks, I'll update the translation.
