Dates in the journal

[gurretzky]

I went through my Netflix view activity and added episodes of shows I've watched. I marked them as the same day I watched them on Netflix. As an example, I watched season 1 of Orange is the new black in 2017, so I marked those episodes witch the corresponding dates of 2017. But when I now look in the journal it says that I've watched over a thousand episode this one day when I created the records. Is this the intended behaviour or should the journal look at the watched date instead?

The journal goes by save time, not the watched date. Each card is a history record ordered by when it was saved (history_processor.py#L58), so hand-added episodes land on the day you added them. The Yamtrack CSV import dates each episode's history to its end_date instead (yamtrack.py#L155-L160, from #990).

To move them (v0.26.3):

1. Settings --> Export Data --> Export as CSV, keep a copy, then cut it down to the back-filled shows. Keep ALL of each show's rows, in the exported order
2. Settings --> Import Data, Import Mode "Sync New Items and Overwrite Existing", upload under Yamtrack

Overwrite deletes each show with its history and rebuilds it from those rows - anythign you leave out is gone, and so is older history like rating changes. The journal defualts to the last year - pick "All Time" to see 2017.

Thank you, I'll try it later!

After some problems with the file format, I finally got it to work. My excel didn't want to save the files with commas and quotes.
