one of my apps that tags metadata on media files also changes the modified date to the original broadcast date. This is handy and doesn't cause a problem expect for with FreeFileSync. for the really old stuff (50's 60's) the comparison always thinks the source is newer than the destination and they all need to be synced again.

I tried the last version (disabling my donation edition features) but it didn't help.

Possibly related to the "beginning of time" being 01/01/1970

Indeed. I changed the creation dates and the issue goes away.
