Set File Attributes fails to set Creation Date

Post by md121641 »

When I use 'Set File attributes' to change the dates on files it works fine for the Modification date but fails (without saying anything is wrong) if I also set the Creation date.

I know it is possible to do because I can change the date with no issues using the old Norton Filer Manager.

It also seems to incorrectly set, or display, the file time when copying files to a USB drive.
(File Time on my hard drive is 17:00:00 but after I copy to USB it shows the time on that file as 17:00:02)

Strange.
Thanks

I'm seeing a similar symptom which may be related to the same bug.

When I display Date Created, on directories, Explorer++ shows the correct time of creation, but it lists date incorrectly. It shows date as "Yesterday".

Date Created for files appears to be OK.

Build date is 3/2/2013 21:14:07 64-bit version

Thank you.

Perhaps related to the first issue, it looks like the date/time that's shown in the set file attributes dialog isn't updated when you set the date.
