Is there an easy way to get calibre to use the unix timestamps for added files when setting the date, published date, and/or modified date fields? Populating any one of these would be sufficient for my purposes. The problem is that I am using calibre to manage a large set of scanned PDFs. The unix timestamps of these pdfs are very important for sorting. However, I cannot seem to get calibre to read them into any of its date fields. It always seems to assign the current date to all the files. I'm probably missing something very basic. I could write a script to stat all the files and edit the database appropriately -- but I'd rather do it the right way (and avoid the extra work) if possible. Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
Ken
