Restoring all books from Kindle - keep date added
Hi all,
I lost my whole Calibre library after having problems with my hard drive. I have all my books on my Kindle so I'm able to restore them all to Calibre . Which is lucky! The only thing is the date added info has been lost, the books in the new Kindle library all have that reset to today's date. I'm hoping to use the dates added as seen on the device library, ideally without manually copying each date as it's hundreds of books. Using the original dates is really important to me in terms of how I navigate the library. Is this possible? Thanks! |

GetFileName might be able to get the original filedate and store it to a custom column, you can then use search&replace to copy it to the Calibre date column.
