Up to three events per file
Content date (only if it comes from metadata), filesystem creation and modification.
Scanning
Timeline
The Timeline module lays out a scan's file events in time: content date, creation and modification, to reconstruct when things actually happened.
What it does
What the Timeline module does
Sort and filter
From oldest to newest (or vice versa), with filters by event type.
Grouping by day
Events are grouped by day; for the content date the source is shown.
Step by step
How it works
- Select a scan from the inventory.
