So I’ve done some work: 1. Might be possible no kMDItemLastUsedDate on a new Mac after using MigrationAssistant or of course if no Spotlight being used 2. NSURLContentAccessDateKey returns the current date like mentioned here - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13914600/get-the-real-last-opened-date <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13914600/get-the-real-last-opened-date> 3. The same problem with st_atimespec it returns the current date 4. NSURLAttributeModificationDateKey seems to be what Path Finder is using to get the Attribute tag
So from what I see there is no real alternative to kMDItemLastUsedDate if that value is missing.
