ThumbsPlus v7-v9 Questions / Sorting thumbs by thumb creation date
« on: 2015-06-29 15:04:37 »
Hello everybody,
I am looking for a possibility to sort thumbs by their entry date into the database,
which means the same as thumbnail creation date.
In this forum I have read about the workaround: switch off automatic thumb generation,
tag the files somehow etc. But that's too late for me, the thumbs already exist and I would like too see the newest files added.
If you open the database in MS Access there is a field "thumbnail_time_iso" in the table "Thumbnail" which should do. But I don't know how to add this field as a sorting
criterion into the frontend. Is there any scripting possibility. I'm afraid I don't know the scripting languages used by ThumbsPlus, my only knowledge is in VBA.
If anyone has a solution or hint I would be grateful.
Best regards
Peter
