Expected Behaviour

Windows 10: When I re-export a view to overwrite an existing version of the image file, I expect the date of the newly updated file to be the current time-of-day.

Actual Behaviour

Windows 10: When I re-export a view to overwrite an existing version of the image file, the date of the newly updated file is not being updated to the current time-of-day.

Steps to Reproduce the Behaviour

  1. See above
  2. Exported image file type is: PNG
  3. The contents of the file are updated ....just the date for the file is not updated.

The modified date attribute will be updated, not the date created. This is standard OS behaviour. The same for any file that is saved with the same name.

You're right Phil.

This is totally weird: some folders on my Windows 10 laptop use/display a Date column while others use/display a Date Modified column ...apparently somewhat at random. #gofigure

I don't think Archi is off the hook Phil.

Repro:

  1. Create a new empty subfolder from File Manager/File Explorer called FooBar.
  2. In File Manager, click into FooBar and set the view to Details
  3. Note that the folder will have a column displayed called Date Modified
  4. Now, from Archi, export a view into a new image file inside folder FooBar
  5. In File Manager, click out and then into FooBar and set the view to Details
  6. Note Archi's export function results in the the Date Modified column being hidden and the Date column being displayed.

Microsoft Paint does the same thing (with a new empty folder). Microsoft Notepad does not.
