Well, if someone were planning to just maintain the whole thing in Excel, 
and not use the CSV file to import into another program (since it feels 
like Excel will outlive any media-indexing-specific app), it would be 
really helpful to have those size and time values in the spreadsheet. And 
if someone were using the CSV as an import into something else, they could 
always delete those columns in a spreadsheet like Excel before importing. 
So if it's possible to include them, it would be helpful.

For now I'm going to keep maintaining and updating the information in 
Usher. It's good to know, with the CSV export, that when/if the time comes 
that Usher is no longer updated to function with a new release of MacOS, 
I'll be able to get the metadata I've entered out of it.

Thanks again.

We'll have an update out very shortly with those dates being exported. File Size, however, isn't included - this data exists at the system level, and should be automatically read by any app that's indexing stuff from your system, I would think. Is there a reason you need the size field included in the export that I'm not seeing?
