I used the timestamp as a method of telling when the files within were created. This makes it really hard to tell what really is in the directory. I have source code from 1996.

I did not notice the timestamp change till I was looking for the differences between my working directory and the orignal. I could not tell which was which when the timestamps changed. It is making my development a lot harder.
Have you considered using an actual tool to do this for you? Something like svn or cvs, which can tell you when things were changed and what was changed at the click of a button, without the need for any manual searching It seems you are trying to make the file system be a database for you, which was not what it was designed for. Use tools that were designed for what you want, and you won't have to worry about little effects such as this Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
