File Time Stamp

Posts: 16 · Mwyarm 22 May 2023, 20:06

On occasion a file is presented as having a different time stamp by exactly 1 hour. However, if I go and look up the file myself I find that what is presented on the right (in the attachment) is not representative of the actual file time stamp. The actual time stamp indeed matches the date and time on the left, yet FFS reports as if it an error.

I don't see it occasionally and it is not specific to an application not a file type. I have seen it on excel, pdf and jpg files.

Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply. Is the rule - "Alternatively, you can avoid the problem in the first place by only synchronizing from FAT to FAT or NTFS to NTFS file systems." - the same for exFAT?

My local file is NTFS but the mounted virtual drive by an application is exFAT. However, I am still confused as to why does it display just a sprinkling of files out of 10's of thousands? I am still missing something??? So sorry for my dumbness.
