modify "added" statistics by hand?

[mb_3000]

Hi there.
is there a way to manually modify the statistics of a song?
I created my database in GMB a few months ago but most of my music it's been a part of my collection for years. is there a way to manually modify the "added" value of these files?
thanks!

Not currently. I plan to add a statistics tab to the song(s) properties dialogs

In the meantime, you can do it with this small script : https://gist.github.com/squentin/1e2679c7d8ad22408084 and this command :

Code Select Expand

find /PATH/TO/MUSIC/ -iname \*.mp3 -exec perl setfield.pl "{}" added 1000000000 \;
replace the path, the 1000000000 by the value given by this command :

Code Select Expand

date +"%s" -d "28 July 2010" and if you have files other than mp3 you need to replace \*.mp3 and run it for each extension.

It might be a bit hard if you are not familiar with the command-line, let me know if you need any help with it.

EDIT: you must run the command while gmb is running, it communicates with it via dbus
