+[8.5b2] CopyAllTimes=0 copies folders' all times anyway

Post by *MVV »

It is sufficient to have clean INI with CopyDirTimeStamp=1 to reproduce it:

Code: Select all

[Configuration]
CopyDirTimeStamp=1
According to help topic, CopyAllTimes=0 by deafult. But TC copies folders' all times anyway. TC shouldn't copy times except modification one by default (when CopyAllTimes is disabled).

Folder times are auto-updated by system when any files are written or modified inside the folder.
We are not so S.M.A.R.T. as we imagine...

Forgot to mention that you may need to enable NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate (set REG_DWORD to 1) in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem to reproduce it because Windows may update access date of folder copy after it has been set by TC.

siealex,
I'm not talking about modify timestamp but about creation and last access timestamps. :!:
