Category: Tasks Group: 0.85 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Scott Winslow (swinslow) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: copy task using created instead of modified date Initial Comment: <copy> is overwriting newer files with older files because it checks age based on created date rather than modified date. I'm pretty sure that it should be modified date, otherwise simply relocating a file prior to the copy task will make the file look newer than it really is. As an example: if you create a file, copy it elsewhere and then go back and modify the original, copy would not overwrite the previously copied file with the more recently modified one. Considering that the <touch> task is touching the modified date, I think that <copy>'s use of the created date is a bug rather than the intended behaviour.
