New option of comparison

Posts: 1 · hapm 6 Apr 2025, 09:03

I have an issue with comparison (some dates are set to 01/01/1970 01:00:00). It seems an commun case. So it's seems to me helpfull to have a new option in comparison options after a File time and size comparison that confirme comparison with the file content (only if one of the date is 01/01/1970 01:00:00). What do you think about that ?

Sounds to me like we need ability to script our own comparison, since if that's possible then why not any other combination of tests also

Hello,
I've been having the same problem for several days on different PCs and a shared NAS.
The date on some files synced on the PC has changed to 01/01/1970.

What NAS, what OS, & 32 or 64-bit at that?

What is the date or your source file & what OS is that system running?

1-1-1970 is a "magic" (UNIX) date.

I'll suspect that the source file date is dated earlier then 1-1-1970 & that your NAS/OS (including its' bitness) cannot handle such a date, so sets its date to 1-1-1970.

This has always been resolved on the NAS side. Make sure it is up to date
