@rebl - IIRC I gave up on 'iso' dates because they seem to introduce timeshifts based on my local time.
I gave up on the modified date for the reasons given by you, chaley and yt. I have a custom column called 'lastaction'. I update it as and when I see fit, usually in the booklist by pressing 'F2' followed by '='. The file system dates in the book folder are also of little use to me. E.g. if I email a 'book' to a colleague (via the windows shell) asking for 'their thoughts', then the file system date wont change. So I update my 'lastaction' column, and record what the action was in my 'notes' custom comments column.
Yes 'date' is the 'timestamp' of when the book was added to the database - I don't make any use of it. The only built-in date I make any use of is publication date, but I also have a custom column for original publication date and location.
FWIW: in my prior attachment I added the Date and Date Modified columns for the purpose of posting that screenshot - normally I don't display them.
