Yesterday, 12/31/06, I update a disk and today, 1/1/07, this script
returns "Music: Sunday, December 3, 2006 7:42:24 AM"
tell application "Finder"
name of disk 3 & ": " & modification date of disk 3
end tell
Why is this and is there any way to get a disk's actual
modification date time stamp ?
Hello
You may try:
set newDate to "01/01/2007 10:11:12" (* the date must match your
System Prefs settings *)
set newDate to date newDate
tell application "Finder"
set modification date of disk 3 to newDate
end tell
It seems that the system modify a Disk's modDate only when it closes
a session.
So, if you let the machine continuously on I am not surprised that
the moddate doesn't match the late modification you did.
