freefilesync mac and final cut pro librairies

[sebperkins]

Hello

I am testing freefilesync on my mac for media related files to an external storage, and works superbly.

Question : i am using final cut pro, and am testing the libraries, they get backed up, but with the timestamp of the copy date, and not that of the source file.

Is there a possibility to keep the source timestamp of the library ?

Thanks
Sebastian

Thanks i installed the beta version, retested and the fcpbundle backup file is still timestamped as of the transfer date. i dont get this on a flat file like and .mov, .jpg etc

Reproducible with the same files? And when you copy via Finder?

[sebperkins]

A copy via the finder maintains the timestamp to the same destination.

The fcpbundle however is not a flat file, it contains all the data for a final cut project. The finder just copies the as is, and freefilesync scans everything inside before copying the 1 .fcpbundle file, maybe the issue is linked here ?

This explains it, whenever a file inside a folder is created, the folder modification time is set to <now>. FreeFileSync doesn't have special handling (yet?) to overwrite this standard file system behavior.
