Bug Description
When you create a smart playlist and one of the criteria is based on date created - it bases it on the date the file is added to your library instead of the date that the file was actually created (based on the file properties). This is a big issue if you're trying to create a smart playlist and you do a full update to your library as all files are then "created" again in your library.
To Reproduce:
1. Open clementine;
2. Create new smart playlist;
3. Make one criteria based on date created (say for last 7 days);
Observe: look at how many files are there
4. No do a complete rescan of your library
5. Look at how many files are now in your playlist
To say the least "date created" is misleading as it implies when the file was created not when it was added to the Clementine library. For people adding files routinely and routinely doing full rescans (yes I know you can "watch" your library folders), this issue makes the smart playlists based on "date created" (e.g., date added to library) not entirely useful nor intuitive.
Thanks
Sorry my system:
Ubuntu 14.10 x64
Clementine Version: 1.2.3
