When you say "original date", do you mean that you want to set the file creation date to the the movie release date / episode air date?
This behaviour can be enabled by setting
FILEBOT_OPTS environment variable as follows:
Code: Select all
-DuseExtendedFileAttributes=true -DuseCreationDate=true

Note that changing timestamps can interfere with incremental backup software in unexpected ways.

Hello,
I searched the forum and did not find how to use FILEBOT_OPTS.
I do not know where to put this code:
Code: Select all
-DuseExtendedFileAttributes = true -DuseCreationDate = true
Thanks for helping, filebot is working properly, I am happy to find this excellent program!
Thanks for helping

Hit the
Windows key, then type
env, and then the Windows Start menu search should already give you an
Edit Environment Variables option.
Here's a tutorial on how to set environment variables on Windows:

Value:
Code: Select all
-DuseExtendedFileAttributes=true -DuseCreationDate=true

Use copy & paste and make sure to
not add extra spaces in the snippets I posted.

I'm wanting this as well but I want it to keep the original creation date of the file, not the episode air date. I tried the code above but it changed the file creation date to the episode aired date. I want it to be the date of my specific file created. How do I do this please?

-DuseCreationDate=false would disable this behavior. By default FileBot does not modify timestamps.
