Windows 'Date modified' on files saved by GIMP is wrong

This discussion is connected to the gimp-user-list.gnome.org mailing list which is provided by the GIMP developers and not related to gimpusers.com.

This is a read-only list on gimpusers.com so this discussion thread is read-only, too.

Windows 'Date modified' on files saved by GIMP is wrong

Apparently GIMP can time travel into the future (see attached jpg exported from GIMP, note the difference from system time).

This doesn't affect anything, but it just bothers me. Is there any way to fix it?

Hi

Also looks like you might have malware on your computer, it's either search protect which I see daily blocking computers internet connection, or the Toshiba tempro service....

Cheers Phil

Even if it can be altered by programs, this kind of timestamp is set automatically by the system when the file is closed.

IMHO here it's more a case of a bad clock setup on your server. What is your time zone? What is the time zone on the server?

Thanks for catching the malware - it's removed now.

That makes sense about the time coming from the system, it's just strange that the other programs I use a lot on that computer (Microsoft Office, Apache OpenOffice, and Microsoft Paint) always have modified dates that match the system time; GIMP is the only one that sets different times. It started out being exactly one hour ahead, but as you can see in the screenshot it's further ahead now. I'm in the U.S. Central time zone, and that's what is set on my computer. We're in Daylight Saving mode currently, which Windows automatically applies. (This machine is running Windows 7.)

The machine is connected to a local network (it's my at-work computer) through a Linux server. I have no idea how to check the time settings on the server, or if that would affect my computer at all.

Could it be as simple as the time on the Windows server \\FILESERVER where you saved your file is off?
Try saving a text file to t:\Ginny\Temporary and see if you see the same results.

You're right, I saw the same results with the text file (I don't think the server is running Windows, but I'll look into it). So Notepad and GIMP must use the server's time, and the Office programs and Paint must use the time on my computer? Strange, but good to know, and thanks for solving this mystery for me.
