Mori: Set Creation and Modification Date

Submitted by fab on Sun, 2006-09-24 16:20. Tags ( | )

These two simple scripts can be used to manually set the creation and modification date of the selected entries (such dates are not editable with Mori). A dialog window will pop up to ask for the new entry date.
I have created these scripts because I needed to set the creation date of some entries after importing a couple of old notebooks created with HBN 3.5.
I am using them with Mori 1.4b3 but they could not work with older versions of Mori because of some changes to the AppleScript dictionary introduced with v1.4.

This sounds fantastic for anyone using Mori for journalling. If someone wants to write about an event that happened a few days ago, or wants to import old journal entries from a different application, they'd need to change the dates of entries if they want to arrange them by date in the entry view.

Although I suspect a better

Although I suspect a better option in this case would be to create a new column for the date the event being journaled happened. Otherwise the date created or date modified no longer refer to what they were intended to, which means you're both throwing away data and changing a standard and expected behavior.

Oh ok. I'm pretty new to

Oh ok. I'm pretty new to Mori, so I didn't think to make a custom column where you could input any date you like. I did worry that the creation date can sometimes seem to be changed if you move a document between machines, or if you have to restore from a backup; I'm not certain, but I have vague recolection that this has happened for me before.
