WildcatMidnight Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Dear Paint.Net! It seems to get the incorrect: Absolute Date & Time Stamps (or) Zone - when: Creat / Modify / Save / Save-as Pics (Not-Auto changing Time-zone?). It causes wrong Sorting / Reference (in Data-base / Drive / Cloud, etc.) later. Please take a look at that. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I don't understand what you mean -- is this metadata in the file? Or the file's actual timestamp? I need more information ... screenshot would help. I've never heard of this. 1 Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew1976 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Sorry to hijack this old thread but google brought me here after I found an issue with timestamping of "Save as..." files. If I save a file as a JPG from a PDN, it seems to inherit the metadata of the original file and leaves me with a file created (in this case) 4 days ago. If I save as PNG, I get a file created "now". (note if I save the PDN first, then Save As... JPG it seems to work) Minor issue but it was a headscratcher when I was trying to find the file I'd just created.....

AndrewG1976a Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Wow, google sends me to the same page I commented on two years ago.... Still the same challenge. "Save as..." inherits time from, something (it's NOT the PDN, because I saved it right before save as, and the PDN's timestamp is 3.5 hours newer than the JPG created immediately after) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Explorer has columns for Date, Date Created, Date Modified, and a few others. It also uses something called tunneling to make sure that the Date Created is maintained even if the file is deleted and replaced in a short amount of time. Make sure you are looking at the Date Modified column, not just "Date". You may need to add the column in Explorer. This is how Windows does things. Has nothing to do with Paint.NET, which has no code for doing anything with the file's timestamps.
