Nope, I am sorry.
I do not rule out that the OS data and the detailed files data might
match under circumstances I cannot define.
The results I get here using your script are exactly the same as with my
slightly different script (Indeed I had hoped that it could be a script
issue - in which case the syntactic recommendations of the docs how to
convert the items of the detailed files would have been in question)
For the folder I mentioned in my last post - where the WindowsXP OS
information clearly shows different dates for modification and creation
- with your script I get the same results as before: Only the
modification date is shown both in item 4 and item 5 of the detailed files.
For the "M" - modified - and "O" images - not modified - on MacOS I also
get the same results as before:
Item 4 displays the mentioned phantastic date of "Jan 18, 2038" - which
is probably the USB-stick transfer date - in item 5 with image "M" the
"imported" date "May 19" is shown, while the iTunes data show "March 4 "
as the creation date. For image "O" - the not-modified image - item 4
shows "Jan 18, 2038" and item 5 "March 4", not using here the "imported"
date "March 19" of iTunes.-
Maybe my two main computers are infected with a special "detailed-files
virus". If this is not the case then I have to repeat my statements that
The detailed-files function of Rev appears to be extremely "buggy", and
the Rev team should take a close look both at the function itself and
the corresponding information in the docs.
