Display Date/Time in Recently played or Recently Added ListView

[simoncn]

Thanks for your words of appreciation for MinimServer and for your suggestions for additional configuration options for the recently added/played feature.

There are more than three predefined time groups for recently added and played files. The groupings in the recently added/played indexes are as follows:
Last day
Last week
Last month
Last 3 months
Current year
Previous years (can be divided into one or more year ranges)

Some of these groups might not be shown. For example, if the "last day" and "last week" groups have the same contents, only the "last day" group is shown.

When designing the recently added/played feature, the goal was to provide a simple way for the user to see which files had been added or played recently, not to provide exact details of when files in the library were added or last played. The time groups are shorter for the most recent files because most users will be more interested in seeing these files than seeing files that have been last played or added many months or years ago.

The goal was also to make this feature easy to use without a large number of configuration options. For all features, there is a trade-off between configurability and complexity. Adding configuration options such as those you have suggested would add complexity to the internal implementation and (perhaps more importantly) would make the description of the feature more complex, making it harder for users to understand how to use the feature. There is a fine balance between functionality, configurabilty and complexity and I think the balance for this feature is about right at present.
