(old) file object bug

[Quinto]

hi,

if copying a file with the file object, the date and time of the file will be changed to current date and time.

but i want to copy a file like in explorer:
with the original date and time of the file.

how can i do this?

this problem occurs since mmf1.5 but there was the ferret file date object to change date and time of a file manually, but not in mmf2.

with this limitations the file object is completely useless for file copy actions.

does a workaround exist for this problem?

Send a pm to Turboferret and I bet he will convert teh file date object for you. I see him on the forums all the time. He just might not know anyone needs it.

I found a solution:
the file time object by xinok, who can change the date and time of a file, so here is the workaround:

1: store date & time from source file in a array
2: copy file
3: get date & time from array and set to copied file

unfortunately the "set modified time"-action from the file time object works not properly, it's set on my machine everytime two hours+ to the original time.
example: the action "set modified hour to 10" results in a setting to 12, "set hour to 16" gets a set to 18.
seconds and minutes are ok, also creation date.
"last access" is always set to current system time independent from any set-last-access-time-action.

maybe it depends on the system? dont know how the changing of file time is managed in windows inside.
