File Date errors

Targets Linux
1

Greetings,

I am trying to process some files on a debian machine and it seems that if i use those

fileRow.Column("CreationDate").DateTimeValue = file.CreationDateTime
fileRow.Column("ModificationDate").DateTimeValue = file.ModificationDateTime

i get for few documents only the creation date and the modification date , but most of them came empty.

Now if i do a query i have 148768 files and 132965 of them came empty.

Is there a bug in this or there is something else ?

Thanks

can you look what really exists in this file (without date at xojo) via stat command?

Hello, well on linux using stat i get " > Size: 21444 Blocks: 48 IO Block: 131072 regular file

" while on the code to get the timestamp i get nothing , my db is empty at that file on CreationDate and ModificationDate. It seems that those files came from a Windows machine and when they zip them the files lost all the timestamp part as it got as timestamp the unzip date which in this case is Modify , which is bad for me , but still nothing from XOJO side ,and this is not the first time it happens. and i do check for file existence and it finds it

What do you mean by “nothing from XOJO side” ??

hello Tim, i guess you will find the answer in the first post, it means that in the database i get empty string instead of an actual date

What values do file.CreationDateTime and file.ModificationDateTime have? Are they Nil? or do they point to a DateTime? If the latter, what are the values in teh DateTime object?
