Category: Frontends (lame/mp3x/...) Group: Compatibility Status: Open Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Stefan Schnitter (superfreaky) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Option to preserve the file creation + modification date in Initial Comment: Hi, having many old files which require sorting by date. I need to retain the file creation and change dates, so an option/checkbox to select this would be very helpful. This is a common request (3489332 Add encoding option to maintain file modification time Open 2012-02-19 nobody jmcatee 5 ) and easy to implement and would maintain compatibilty, ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Thomas Orgis (sobukus) Date: 2012-07-05 03:56 Message: Are we really talking about creation time? This does not exist in POSIX. There is access and modification time (as well as attribute change time). If we want to keep modification time, this sequence of shell commands would do the trick: mv file.mp3 file.mp3.old lame input.wav file.mp3 touch -r file.mp3.old file.mp3 rm file.mp3.old file.mp3 will have new contents but old mtime / atime. My point being: Should one really add functionality to lame to lie about what it does (modifying the output file)? Isn't that orthogonal to its purpose of encoding MPEG audio? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Stefan Schnitter (superfreaky) Date: 2012-07-03 03:14 Message: This was the description for Audacity. For LAME, a commandline option "--preserve-filedates" could be used. Many have Gigabytes with old wave/other audio formats to be converted. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350290&aid=3525781&group_id=290 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
