"Maintain modification dates of transferred files" not working?

[tu11ym0n]

Within the Transfer preferences, the "Maintain modification dates of transferred files" checkbox is checked. However whenever I download a file from remote to local the local file's modification date is the current time, not the time of the remote file.

For example, I have a file "home.php" which was last modified last night at 6:34pm.  When I download it to overwrite my local copy it shows up as being last modified as today at 1:20pm. 

Is there a bug or am I not understanding what the "Maintain modification dates of transferred files" is supposed to do?

Since I'm already dealing with your modification date issue via email support, I'll post the result of my suggested fix here when you have confirmed it. If I am correct, the solution is to enable the 'Validate suspect file datestamps' checkbox in the Server Options tab of the Preferences. This is a known issue and is fixed already in a new build which will be released shortly.

(I have also posted this as part of my reply in your Feedback suggestion, for everyone else reading)

SOLVED: tu11ym0n has found a bug that only shows up when downloading files to a mounted AppleShare volume, rather than to a hard drive in your Mac. This has now been corrected and the fix will be included in the 1.1.6 update.

Greetings, first post to the forum.

Before I begin, want to say that I am blown away by the elegance of your creation. It really is a Lexus compared to the other guys.

You guys should hire out to other companies to enhance their entire user experience... I don't want to use any 'normal' apps, I just want to sit here and transfer files back and forth it's so sweet! 

But concerning this issue, it seems that I have the same problem. I've fiddled with the time zone and 'validate suspect file datestamps', and nothing seems to jive.

If I fiddle with the time zone settings, (which are a little unclear) I can make *older* files match correctly, but any new ones added to that directory reflect the date/time that the transfer actually took place, not the original file mod date.

Any clues for the yummy noob?

(and unless something very strange happens in the next couple of days, you can count on my $$s, fer sure)

Welcome to the forum, and thank you for the very kind comments about my work

The mod date problem requires a fix in v1.1.5. I already fixed the problem in v1.1.6 but that is still undergoing further development and is therefore a beta. You're very welcome to try the latest beta build - just send me an email and I'll send you back the download link for it. Email me at support at yummysoftware dot com

Thanks for the speedy feedback, Jason. As long as I know it's not me I'll just wait unless it really starts to drive me crazy. I *really* appreciate your craftsmanship on YFTP.
