Open Source Document Management System | OpenKM

Is it possible to use the file's original properties when uploading a new document?

Now if User x uploads the document it says that that user is the author. I have a lot of documents not made by me originally that I want to import, but I want the author to be set to the author of the file, not me.

Same goes for creation date and last updated date. I would like those to be the corresponding dates of the file, not when it was uploaded to the system.

Might be, but for it should be done a specific import process, because the date might be is not in the document's metadata and only in the file system. In the other hand should be read metadata ( if exist, not all the documents types have it ).

So this would have been done with automation or a script?

Getting metadata from documents should be done with automation, but I'm not 100% sure about document date, might be this data is not set in into the metadata. I think we are using internally POI but the most complete library is TIKA ( we do not include it sure because it is a large library ).
