Coders : Hacking Metadata Dates for me?

[norgan]

Hi folks,
a short question for the coders in this round :
in my current play, I need the creation / edit dates of the real file displayed and not the time & date of alfresco container creation. Do you have a tip for me, how to achive that most easily?

Thanks in advance,
Norgan

Perhaps metadata extraction is what you'd need:

Hi,
when I check the OfficeMetaddataextractor and the pdfBoxMetadataExtractor read the "cm:created" field, but the field in the web gui shows the created date of the container object, not of the binary file itself.

Is that a Bug or feature ?
