Full Version: Library View: Can I define a column to sort by Last Imported?

I've been slowly switching over from JRiver Media Jukebox to Foobar over the past week because, frankly, I think Foobar sounds much better when using the Secret Rabbit code plug in.

The last challenge I have is to figure out how to make Foobar's Library sort the "all tracks" view by when the media files were imported into the Foobar library.

This is especially helpful to me as I'm ripping new CD's all the time and I generally want to demo the new .FLAC files that I rip on a weekly basis.

I have about 6000 tracks in my library so browsing by Artists or disk structure is not a very good way of finding the latest imported tracks ... it takes an elephants memory to do it that way.

Much easier just to call up the 'All tracks' view in the library and sort by "Import Date". This way, I see all the tracks imported to the library in the past week or so and can peruse at my leisure.

...

Any ideas, folks?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

You need the official playback statistics component, which will store "added" information to its database.

Once you have it installed, you can add a column with the following code:
CODE

%added%

and click on its header to sort.

If you don't want a column, Edit -> Sort By -> type %added%.

CODE

Library > Album List > Filter: %added% DURING LAST WEEK


QUOTE

<time> DURING LAST <number> <time-unit>

Returns items where <time> value is contained in the specified period.

<time-unit> can be one of SECONDS, MINUTES, HOURS, DAYS, or WEEKS.

Example: %last_modified% DURING LAST 2 WEEKS

If <number> is 1, the expression can be simplified to <time> DURING LAST SECOND/MINUTE/HOUR/DAY/WEEK
