How do i correct the "import dates" ?

Problem is that 7/8 of the tracks are with todays date. It's impossible to find recently added tracks. I thecked the folders (in hdd, win explorer)and traktor has modified the "modified date" also to today. But in folders the "date created" is correct. But in traktor there is no opyion to choose from "date created". So how do i correct so that it shows the tracks in Traktor by correct dates ?

 

Ugh, feel your pain. I usually have to drag each track from the explorer (not collection) pane into a deck and it is added w/out overwriting the import date. There may be--and probably is--a better way but this is generally what I do when backing up or re-installing. I only have about 300 tracks so... lol
I'll be watching this thread with the hope that someone with more savvy than I has a better solution.

Yeah, i have 2700 tracks, so it's becoming a bad joke to me.

 

- try to import an older collection of your /traktor/backup folder
or
-make a backup of your current collection
rightclick on collection /import collection
after import, traktor should ask whether it takes it from tag or collection.

Already did that. In collection and in playlists (older playlists) it shows correct dates, but if i explore the folders on hdd with traktor, it shows most of them with todays date. That means, i cannot create new playlists and i cannot add whole folders to collection, because it would mess withe dates in there too. Had no problems before beta update.

 

Is there any particular pattern as to why some tracks show the correct date and why the others changed? Did you happen to process the tracks in another audio program like Platinum Notes or anything like that?
Did installing the beta cause this?

It's strange that importing an older NML won't work. I just hope you have a backup of your entire 1.1.2 installation for when the beta is over or you decide to re-install 1.1.2. With 2700 tracks I would probably just do a roll back to the previous version w/ the import method Cedric suggests and call it a day.

Yup, i did backup from 1.1.2. There is no visible pattern, to which is with correct date and which is not. I haven't use any other programs to access these files. Actually collection shows the right dates but when u browse from folders, where the files are located, with traktor explorer, it shows wrong dates. Also it don't show play count (fortunately it shows on collection and in playlists). Now i cannot delete any playlists, because if i do and want to create another one instead, i get almost all tracks with wrong date. So i cannot see tracks in chronological order, which is very useful to me.

 

Anyone else have the same problem after update? Tried to reinstall program etc, no luck. Should i report it as a bug ?

 

there have been import date problems ever since Pro was released. good luck.
