ImportAdded Plugin
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
The ``importadded`` plugin is useful when an existing collection is imported
|
|
and the time when albums and items were added should be preserved.
|
|
|
|
The :abbr:`mtime (modification time)` of files that are imported into the
|
|
library are assumed to represent the time when the items were originally
|
|
added.
|
|
|
|
The ``item.added`` field is populated as follows:
|
|
|
|
* For singleton items with no album, ``item.added`` is set to the item's file
|
|
mtime before it was imported.
|
|
* For items that are part of an album, ``album.added`` and ``item.added`` are
|
|
set to the oldest mtime of the files in the album before they were imported.
|
|
The mtime of album directories is ignored.
|
|
|
|
This plugin can optionally be configured to also preserve mtimes::
|
|
|
|
importadded:
|
|
preserve_mtimes: yes # default: no
|
|
|
|
File modification times are preserved as follows:
|
|
|
|
* For all items:
|
|
|
|
* ``item.mtime`` is set to the mtime of the file
|
|
from which the item is imported from.
|
|
* The mtime of the file ``item.path`` is set to ``item.mtime``.
|
|
|
|
Note that there is no ``album.mtime`` field in the database and that the mtime
|
|
of album directories on disk aren't preserved.
|
|
|
|
Reimport

--------
