Hello Rick, The access date on a file is updated very frequently. I think that stat:ing the file is enough, and that happens all the time.
If what you're looking for is the last *opened* date of the file, I think that your best bet is the kMDItemLastUsedDate spotlight metadata attribute. j o a r On 7 jul 2011, at 20:35, Rick C. wrote: > Hi again, > > I'm using this code to get the last accessed date of a file: > > struct stat output; > > int ret = stat([aFile fileSystemRepresentation], &output); > struct timespec accessTime = output.st_atimespec; > NSDate *aDate = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSince1970:accessTime.tv_sec]; > > NSLog(@"Access Time %d, %@",ret, aDate); > > But it's just giving me today's date.
