    Modified Files:

    Log Message:
    Correct JSDOCS for get_path, get_size, and get_time methods

    These methods also (optionally) accept a file-meta-object as an argument.

    Fix typo (wrong default size value) in JSDOCS for format_name()

    The default is 'size' parameter value is 12 characters, not 13.

    Log Message:
    add() method will now parse added, last_downloaded, and times_downloaded

    These 3 'stats' properties were read-only (never used when adding a file). To support moving files between FileBases while retaining these stats, support the parse/use of these file-meta-object property values.

    Should fix issue #333 reported by Nightfox.

    Log Message:
    File's meta-object's "size" and "time" properties reflect current values

    Query the disk for file's current "size" and "time" values when get_list() or get() method is used with a "detail" level of >= DETAIL.NORMAL and the "check file existence" toggle option is enabled for this directory in SCFG.

    I pondered and contemplated whether this configuration setting should be checked/applied here or in the various JS scripts (e.g. filelist.js) and decided here was best to provide the most uniform/expected behavior, even though there is a performance impact. If a script doesn't need/use these properties, they should probably be specifying the DETAIL.MIN (minimal) detail level in their queries anyway, which will then bypass these performance-impacting disk queries.

    Fix filebase corruption caused by FileBase.renew()

    echicken reported this problem: pretty severe filebase corruption as a result of calling FileBase.renew(). The problem seemed pretty obvious (only loading the file's index record), but I do think the underlying SMBLIB functions
    should be more resilient to misuse and not corrupt the base. So, that's still
    a TODO.

    No existing scripts were using FileBase.renew(), so this problem has gone unnoticed since SBBS v3.19.

    Rename the METADATA and metadata properties to AUXDATA and auxdata

    To eliminate confusion with the file-meta-object that this API deals with
    more than anything else.

    echicken's suggestion

    Nothing used this property before now, so this should be fine.

    Log Message:
    Fix misuse of JSVAL_TO_DOUBLE() for "cost" and "size" file-meta-obj properties

    As pointed out by echicken: when setting the "cost" property to any value, the actual
    file's cost would be set to 9223372036854776000 regardless of what number was in the
    provided file metadata object. Most jsval numbers aren't doubles (they're ints) so
    need to use JS_ValueToNumber() to do the proper conversion, regardless of underlying
    type.

    Noticed the same problem with the "size" property.

    Thanks for the tests and report echicken!

    Nobody's really using this auxdata yet, besides echicken, so no impact for others.

    When FileBase.update() is called with readd_always=true, update date-added

    The use from addfiles.js (the -readd option) implies this is what's expected. And echicken was suprised the 'added' date/time-stamp wasn't udpated.
