Hi, yes, I use BRU as well. I use the "created" while renaming files on the
recorder connected as external disk to the PC.

"Modified" refers to creation time or last writing to file, i.e. closing
time ?

I tried to use "Modified" field but then I had to subtract the duration of
the file to get the creation time. Which recorder do you use ?
