Hi All,

I'm a relatively new user and trying to add an extra field to my library, that corresponds to the Windows file creation date (I would like to do this so I can sort by when I originally acquired the eBooks).
I've managed to create a new metadata field, but adding each date manually seems like an unnecessary chore, is there a way I can automate this? Closest I found was this thread but frankly, I can't make any sense of it. Could someone point me to some further documentation as to how I might be able to do this? I'd rather not have to re-add all the books in my library.
Many thanks in advance and great job, Kovid!

Aloha
