Good to hear.
You can do this by composing two functions. "select" and the formats_ function you want to use. Example:

program: select(formats_modtimes('yyyy-MM-dd'), 'EPUB')

returns the date the EPUB was modified, or the empty string if there isn't an EPUB. Note that the key in "select" is case sensitive.
Oh well. To paraphrase Kovid when he replies to bug reports involving PDF, "PDF has various limitations".

Hi chaley, searchin for the solution concerning the file modifications date I have found this thread (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=154780) and there are your suggestions. It is probably something I am looking for, however I don't understand how to implement it. Could you please elborate?
Thanks and regards

I assume you are referring to the template in post 16.

{:'re(list_item(formats_modtimes('dd/MM/yy hh:mm'), 0, ','), '^.*?:', '')'}

If so, then you need to make a custom column "built from other columns" and put the above into the template.

Note that the template shows only the first format, whatever that is. The format list is sorted into alphabetical order.
