GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 40880
Should show accessed & changed date as well as modified date
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
The Properties window only shows modified date. It should also show (somewhere) the other two stored dates -- "changed" and "accessed". It should not repeat GMC/KDE's mistake and call changed "created" though. ------- Additional Comments From eli@eazel.com 2000-10-16 19:57:01 ---- Batch-assigning QA ownership of remaining bugs to eli@eazel.com ------- Additional Comments From eli@eazel.com 2001-02-21 11:12:01 ---- QA Assigning to brett. Sorry for the spam. ------- Additional Comments From brett@eazel.com 2001-02-24 23:38:05 ---- I only see modified and accessed date. I don't feel comfortable verifying this bug as currently summarized. ------- Additional Comments From sullivan@eazel.com 2001-02-25 08:33:08 ---- The so-called "changed" date is very strange -- it's the date that the file last had its contents modified (same as "modified" date) or that the file last had its file node info (permissions, owner, group) changed, whichever is newer. Rather than have a field for the changed date itself, I reflect its value on the permissions page, in the "last changed" field near the bottom. If the changed & modified dates are the same, this says "unknown". If they are different, this shows the changed date. ------- Additional Comments From brett@eazel.com 2001-02-26 12:50:35 ---- Thanks for the explanation. What I didn't realize is that the "changed" field was on a different properties tab. I'll verify the functionality as described in your most recent comments. ------- Additional Comments From brett@eazel.com 2001-02-26 12:57:29 ---- These fields work as described, which I verified by comparing the output from the stat command. However, I never see an "accessed" datestamp reported for directories. ------- Additional Comments From sullivan@eazel.com 2001-02-26 13:23:42 ---- I know very little about these unix details. It's possible Nautilus is doing something wrong with accessed dates in directories. ------- Additional Comments From brett@eazel.com 2001-02-26 13:55:58 ---- Verifying this bug and forking off the missing "accessed date" for directories to a new bug. ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2001-09-09 21:22 -------
