Can't Change Create Date Timestamp

[shamill15]

Hi there,

Maybe a Newbie question. Have looked for an answer in the forum but can't find one...

I am trying to correct the Create Date on my 2000+ video clips on my NAS to use data from the file name (yyyyddmmhhss.mpg). The script says it's working but the date isn't changing.

Code: Select all

$date = regexreplace("<curbase>", "(\d{4})(\d{2})(\d{2})(\d{2})(\d{2})(\d{2})", "$3-$2-$1 $4:$5:$6"); timestamp c, $date;

I don't believe it's the script - If I manually correct the date from the XYplorer interface, it accepts the change but doesn't actually make it (reverts immediately to the original).

I've tried removing the 'read-only' and 'archive' toggles but no dice. Is it a restriction in the trial version? Is it to do with the NAS operating system? Any suggestions?

What's the full script?

<curbase> resolves only to the current list item...

That is the full script but I can't get it working even on the current list item even though it says "Timestamping done: 1 Item stamped" in green text). Neither can I change it manually by adjusting the date in the user interface (Properties Tab > Modified:). Manual adjustment simply accepts the change but the entry reverts back to the original.

Once I get it working for a single list item I plan to run it on a selection.

Thanks a million for offering support.

Ok, the problem is your NAS. Do you use the latest firmware? We had a similar issue not too long ago on the forum.

Thanks again highend, just upgraded the firmware and still the same issue. Tested on local files and it works perfectly. You are correct it is clearly the NAS, I will report the issue in the QNAP forum.
