Hello,
I also support these two features, especially #2 (date modification
may have its drawbacks -so a toggle bhaviour in prefs might be OK-,
and importing creation dates seems a good option).
Thanks

this is a two-part request:
i'm leaning heavily toward yojimbo, after trying out various
competitors, especially one called "kit." so now, i'd like to
transfer some items from kit into yojimbo. but when i do, yojimbo
registers the date of *import* as the date *created*, which causes
associated documents (such as pdfs that all pertain to one project)
to appear out of order, when viewing by date. i often view by date
so i can quickly reference all of the most recent documents -- of
various types -- within any folder. but yojimbo's current behavior
prevents this. (of course, i'm referring to pre-existing documents,
such as pdfs, etc.) so i was hoping that yojimbo's date fields were
editable -- perhaps in the inspector window -- but alas, they are not.
hence, request #1: the ability to edit the creation and
modification dates.
IMHO, registering the date of *import*, as if it were the date of
creation, is simply incorrect. (the date that a pre-existing
document was imported into yojimbo seems completely irrelevant to
me, as opposed to, say, a note that is actually created within
yojimbo.)
hence, request #2: yojimbo should inherit a pre-existing document's
original date of creation. or, if some users find the current
behavior useful, i'd love to see a preference to toggle this behavior.
i don't know if the topic of yojimbo copying vs. pointing to
documents has already been discussed. for the record, i do wish
yojimbo simply pointed to documents, rather than making copies of
them. however, in the absence of that functionality, if yojimbo
must copy each document, it should inherit the original dates of
creation (just as the finder does).
please consider this! :-)
thanks,
