Dealing with Package files


  • Subject: Dealing with Package files
  • From: Stephen Lanza <email@hidden>

I use FolderSynchronizer to backup files on my mac and have run into a odd
situation with Virtual PC drives. They are saved as package files with the
following structure:

WinXPPro Drive
- BaseDrive.vhd
- MainPackageFile

Unfortunately, the package modify date does not change. Only the
BaseDrive.vhd file's modify date is updated when Virtual PC modifies the
virtual drive.

Is there a way to use applescript to get the modify date of the
BaseDrive.vhd file and then update the package modify date with it?

I figure that this is the best way to get the date updated so that
FolderSynchronizer will then backup the file on its next run.

Thanks.
