Storages API modified_time() and timezones.

Hi, I'm trying to get a handle on the modified_time() method in the Storages API. I couldn't find any hints in the doc as to what the right way to implement the modified_time() method was in regard to timezones. Currently it looks like the default FileSystemStorage backend returns the modified tim

Are you sure you are saving the new QuerySet that gets created by the filter? I'm guessing you are doing something like: qs = MyModel.objects.filter(field1="somevalue") if condition: qs.filter("someothervalue") What you need to do is save the value of the second filter() call. qs = MyModel.o
