Is there a way to tell what day an item was put into the calendar.
For example if made an entry last week on 11/24/08 for an appointment
on 12/01/08 is the fact that I entered it on 11/24/08 recorded
somewhere?
That information is not saved with the event, however, if you had
Spotlight indexing enabled when you created the event (Entourage menu
--> Preferences... --> Spotlight) then you can get the creation date of
the cache file. This assumes you haven't used any cache clearing tools
that have cleared your Spotlight cache.
Copy and paste the following AppleScript into the Script Editor
application found in /Applications/AppleScript:
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set theItem to the selection
set theID to ID of item 1 of theItem as string
end tell
try
set folderNumber to characters 1 through -4 of theID
on error
set folderNumber to "0"
end try
set folderName to folderNumber & "K/" as string
set homeFolder to POSIX path of (path to home folder)
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set myIdentity to name of current identity
end tell
set cacheFiles to "Library/Caches/Metadata/Microsoft/Entourage/2008/" ¬
& myIdentity ¬
& "/Events/0T/0B/0M/"
set cacheFile to theID & ".vRge08Event" as string
do shell script ¬
"mdls -name kMDItemContentCreationDate '" & homeFolder ¬
& cacheFiles ¬
& folderName ¬
& cacheFile & "'"
Then select your event in the Entourage calendar and click the Run
button in the Script Editor. It will return the creation date of the
cache file, which will coincide with the creation of the event itself.
Hope this helps!
