Feature Request File creation time.

Can a file creation time button be added here or have an option to make the file creation time when the video was uploaded to youtube? image

I've done some research, and unfortunately it's not possible to make yt-dlp use the upload date. It either uses the date when the requested format was encoded (which is the default behavior), or the time when the file is written/created (by using the argument --no-mtime).

I might try to get the program to edit the modification time of the file after it's been downloaded by yt-dlp, but I'm not sure how reliable that would be. I'll leave this issue open for now.
