FFS Update misses certain newly created files

[jhuber]

Hello! I've run into the following issue and wondering if there might be a work around for it.

I'm running Windows 7 64-bit with FFS 8.1 (I was previously running FFS 7.7 and the same problem occurs). I am trying to do an "Update" with filter set to "last x days", where x = 2. I have run into a scenario where certain newly created files are not copied to the right side.

On the left side, unzip a zip file. When this happens new folders and files are created. The folders have a creation and modification time equal to the time that the file is unzipped. Any files created have the creation time that the file was unzipped, but the modification time is not reset; it is kept at whatever it was when the zip file was created. The file modification time could be hours, days, months, years etc. earlier.

As such, when the Compare button is clicked, FFS does not find any of these newly created files, and I assume that is because the modification times are older than two days, even though the file creation time is within two days and these files are "new" relaive to the right side. It seems to be these files should be found because they are newly created. The folders, even though they have new ceation and modification dates are not created, and I assume that is because FFS thinks there is nothing in the folders that needs to be copied to the right.

Is there any way to work around this? Is there a flag somewhere to check creation date?
