File Upload Element > Array > Timestamp

[katw]

Would you consider adding a Timestamp attribute for File Upload Elements?

array(
    0 => array(
        'name' => 'file.png',
        'size' => 6464,
        'type' => 'image/png',
        'path' => '/home/example.com/public_html/path/to/the/file.png',
        'url' => 'http://www.example.com/path/to/the/file.png',
        'quform_upload_uid' => '(random string)',
        'timestamp' => Datetime UTC format <--- Upload Timestamp UTC 
    ),
..... etc
)

This would help with audit trails and distinguishing files that may have same original name/type.

Format would be UTC so it can be filtered for different locales etc through hooks.

The date/time is upload date/time NOT the file date/time.

Thanks for considering.

P.S If you have ideas on how I can do now I would be appreciative 😉

Thanks for considering the request.

I know I could change the file name to insert a date now but not best practice. It is better to have an attribute.

Look forward to seeing it on a future release.

BTW I have used the hooks to build much nicer file-lists which tap into the attributes you have exposed.

See use case attached. Image it with a timestamp 😉
