[QUOTE="danitaz, post: 769348, member: 77362"] Sorry if this is discussed elsewhere. I didn't find anything in my search. I attach to a Linux server via Samba. This server houses all of my music. If I try to search for "created date", I get hits back for "modified" date. If I check info on a particular file it shows the proper created date, but the find always shows files modified in the date range that I indicate, rather than the created date. This only seems to happen on network drives. My local drive appears to search properly. Is this a known issue? I can actually do a "find" on the entire music volume, but I also can't see a way to add the "created date" column in the search results, so I can't sort on created date after I find all of the files. I just can't seem to see a way to get only files that were created in the past 2 days, for example, from this drive. Any ideas? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
