Just to make sure you're aware, there are 4 "dates" (and times) associated with files:

1. The current date/time when the file was added to the filebase
   (e.g. April-13-2022)
2. The file's date/time stamp at the time the file was added to the filebase
   (for old files, this could be 20 or 30 years ago).
3. The file's date/time stamp at the time you're viewing the file information
   (if the file has been modified since it was uploaded, this may not match
   #2).
4. The date/time that the file was last downloaded (or 0 for "never").

Date/time #1 is accesible file a file's 'added' property value, while #4 is available via the 'last_downloaded' property value (probably obvious).

Less obvious is that date/time's #2 and #3 are available via the file's 'time' property and depending on the directory's "Check for File Existence" toggle option, it'll either reflect the *current* date/time stamp of the file or it'll reflect the date/time stamp of the file when it was uploaded.

Yet more potentially interesting dates/times are the newest or oldest time stamps of files *within* each archive. I don't extract and track this information in the SBBS filebase currently, but am considering it.
