Under path parameters for the reader it no longer has "retrieve file properties" which means I can't access the create date of files breaking one my workbenches.
I tried using the filepropertyextractor transformer but its just too slow for the amount of files I need to read. Is there a way to fix this?
Hi @kschultz,
Are you trying to modify an existing Directory and Pathnames reader that is already on your canvas?
On my side, I can see the 'retrieve file properties' parameter when I add a new Pathnames reader; however I notice that it's not accessible in the Navigator once the reader has already been added to the canvas. By default, the parameter is set to 'No'.
If you are trying to modify the existing reader on your canvas, try right-clicking the reader from the Navigator and select 'Update Reader...', this should allow you to change the parameter now, or try adding a new reader.
If that isn't the case for you, can you share what version and build of FME you're running?
I'm using build FME(R) 2023.1.1.0 (20230928 - Build 23631 - WIN64)
I originally built this work space in FME(R) 2021.2.2.0 (20220106 - Build 21806 - WIN64)
And I discovered yes I experience the same thing as you but..in 2021 it would list the date's for me in 2023 everything is just blank. I had to build out a python script to get it to list the dates for me quickly.
