Yes, I use Xlights Connect to upload sequences to an ESP32 Cam. The file date and time is wrong on the upload. The time is not the same of the either when the file was created or when it was uploaded. Im am using FW Version4.0-ci2756477305Build Date Jul 28 2022 - 20:18:03 Describe the solution you'd like A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.

File manager in Espixel stick should reflect either the file creation time/date or the upload time/date.

Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

Would it be possible to add NTP client on boot up to get the correct time?

Not all show networks have access to the internet (Mine does not and many people prevent this as well). So with NTP not a viable solution and no pins available for an RTC, the decision was made to not use the timestamps for anything useful.
