Hey guys!

I am looking for an Automator action, ready to use, that returns the “Date Added” in MacOS Sierra Finder.

Do you have that ?

Thanks.

Browser: Safari 603.2.4
Operating System: Mac OS X (10.12.5)

Here is a system you could implement. I tried it and it works. The Applescript will ask you to select the file you are interested in.

1. Run Applescript


on run {input, parameters}
	
set DA to do shell script "mdls -name kMDItemDateAdded -raw " & quoted form of POSIX path of (choose file "Select file for date added:")
	set delim to "/"
	tell DA to set dateAdded to word 2 & delim & word 3 & delim & word 1
	
	set input to dateAdded
	
	return input
end run

2. Set Value of Variable
theDateAdded

3. Ask for Confirmation
Message: The date the file was added: theDateAdded.
Body: The date file was added has been determined.
