Re: Modification date of disk unreliable




Le 1 janv. 07 à 18:15:03, Irwin Poche a écrit :

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.
