dwFileAttributes ignored when ftLastWriteTime not set

[pawelsky]

Hello,

I am developing a WFX plungin and have just came across the following problem. When I set:

Code: Select all

ftLastWriteTime.dwHighDateTime=0xFFFFFFFF;
ftLastWriteTime.dwLowDateTime=0xFFFFFFFE;

attributes set in dwFileAttributes are not displayed in the filelist.

When ftLastWriteTime is set to any ohter value attributes are displayed correctly.

Is there any reason for that?

Regards,
Pawel

Yes, this is documented: Use this to hide the time, e.g. when it is not available. Use twice FFFFFFFF to show a question mark instead.

But what is the connection to the attributes?

Yes, but why setting the Date fieled also affects the Attributes field? This doesn't seem correct, unless there is some reason we are not aware of. Could you please explain?

Hmm, that's indeed strange - I must have made the assumption that if the date isn't available the attirbutes wouldn't be available either...

Please check it then and at least document that. However if it's not a big deal it would be probably better to have Date and Attributes independent in future releases of TC.
