Replace existing file using Export (Designer and Publisher): timestamp does not change!


Recommended Posts

Just testing the SVG export and the files written to the disk using the export menu are written. When I change parameters and do another export, the prompt for "file exists - replace - yes/no" is answered with yes and the file is replaced. I can see it in the contents after my changes.
But the file daten/time does not change.

This is a very simple setting in the IO lib, as I know from my programmers days. And obviously it is done wrong.

This applies also to the Publisher, cannot test with Photo. But they probably use the same export library functions.

In File Manager the Date Created date/time will never change but the Date Modified will change on every export

Make sure you are looking at the Date Modified column.


If you do not see this column, you can add it to File Manager

If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.

@carl123 : thanks for your findings. This is exactly what I am looking at in my file manager window. Normally!
The external disk I have used here, was set to show the creation date. I use this disk primariliy for photography, where the creation date is more important.

Thanks for you help, I'd say "problem solved".
