Date: 1-1-1980 shows as 12-31-1979

Post by **therube** » Thu Oct 06, 2016 6:40 pm

No big deal, but ...
A file Date of : 1-1-1980 12:00:00 AM, shows in Everything as 12-31-1979 11:00 PM

Create a file, dumy.TXT

Change its date/time (BulkFileChanger) to 1-1-1980 12:00:00 AM

EDIT: This may be a red herring. In my case, I actually used Altap Salamander to effect the change (see below).

Observe dumy.TXT in Everything.

WinXP & Win7
762b x86
Eastern Daylight Time

Unable to reproduce here with BulkFileChanger on WinXP and Win7.
Everything is correctly showing 1-1-1980 12:00:00 AM for me.

Could you please send me your time zone and is Automatically adjust clock for daylight savings enabled?

This could just be a limitation of SystemTimeToTzSpecificLocalTime, Windows Explorer / File Properties displays a blank date for me for 1-1-1980 12:00:00 AM, however, earlier or later dates work fine. There must be something special about 1980, probably something to do with the old FAT32 dates.

Weird.

I haven't been able to reproduce this issue, are you changing your time zone?
Is it possible Everything is running as a different user with a different time zone?

Windows Explorer displays ‎Tuesday, ‎1 ‎January ‎1980, ‏‎12:00:00 AM
Everything displays ‎Tuesday, ‎1 ‎January ‎1980, ‏‎12:00:00 AM
DIR from a command prompt displays: 01/01/1980 01:00 AM !!?!

To me, this seems to be a limitation with the OS and converting dates to the correct day light savings adjusted time.
With old dates, such as 1980, the OS is probably guessing the day light savings adjustement.
I'm not sure why we have different results if we are using the same time zone...

Post by **void** » Sun Oct 09, 2016 1:09 am

I've added more debug information to Everything to show any time conversion failures.

Please try Everything 1.4.1.766b:
http://www.voidtools.com/Everything-1.4.1.766b.x64.zip
http://www.voidtools.com/Everything-1.4.1.766b.x86.zip

Does Everything display any red error messages when you show a result in Everything with the modified date of 1/1/1980?

No.

> Is it possible Everything is running as a different user with a different time zone?

No.

> any red error messages when you show a result in Everything with the modified date of 1/1/1980?

Not that I'm seeing (assuming I looking correctly).

BulkFileChanger

I wonder if I've not been misleading you all along ... ?

If you set a date prior to 01/01/1980, Windows Explorer will not display this date, due to a limitation originally created for old FAT systems. You can still watch an old file date using other file managers like 7-zip, using BulkFileChanger utility, or by right-clicking on the file and choosing 'Properties'.

I never actually used BFC, rather in all instances - when I've manually changed the file date, I've used Altap Salamander (Ctrl+F2 brings up its Attribute Changer) & I wonder if it is not Salamander that is off by one (OffByOne) when modifying, displaying files?

The debug console would be full of red SystemTimeToTzSpecificLocalTime failed x messages whenever a date is displayed, it would be hard to miss, that's why that debug message was disabled as it would flood the debug console. It's only enabled in 766b.

Looks like Salamander could be displaying dates without adjusting for daylight savings? that would explain what we are seeing here (command prompt doesn't adjust for daylight savings, pre 1980 dates don't display in Explorer / file properties)
Try setting a file time to 1/1/1980 12:00am with BFC.

I first noticed this with http://www.sumatrapdfreader.org/dl/SumatraPDF-3.1.zip.

When I "looked" on disk, I saw the file dated 01/01/1980 12:00:00 AM.
When I "looked" in the archive (ZIP file), I saw the same.

And I thought, how odd.

And it was with that that I ended up here, that I noticed Everything showing 12/31/1979 11:00 PM.

Now, all my "looking", at that point, was with Salamander (as in is there any other way to do things

, both for disk & archive "looking").

Now, just what is the date of SumatraPDF.exe, within that ZIP file?

Code: Select all

UNZIP -l SUM*.ZIP

Archive:  SumatraPDF-3.1.zip

So I'm thinking it is me (Salamander). Darn!

SumatraPDF.exe has the date Monday, ‎9 ‎January ‎1645, ‏‎4:49:55 PM UTC for me (extracted with WinRAR).

Perhaps your unzip program is not setting the modified date with the correct daylight savings time?

Altap Salamander forums, Date: 12-31-1979 shows as 1-1-1980.

Monday, ‎9 ‎January ‎1645, ‏‎4:49:55

Oh, "extracted", let me try that next...

Extracting:
7-zip (1603, GUI & command-line) gave me 10/24/2015 01:22:24 AM.
WinRAR (5.40, GUI) gave me current date/time.
Salamander gives me 1/1/1980 12:00:00.

Odd.
In particular the differences we're seeing with RAR?

Given the actual ZIP archive date, 10/24/2015 01:22:24 AM (or the "actual date" as determined by my download manager, which presumably would coincide with the date as the file sits on the server), it would seem that 7-zip is extracting the file with the correct date.
... Hmm ... Actually, now thinking, that it is not able to determine an actual date, & because of that it is then defaulting to setting the date to the archive date itself. I bet that's what's happening. In any case, that would seem to be the most "correct".

(Both 7-zip & WinRAR [GUI] were run sandboxed, Sandboxie. Salamander & 7-zip command-line were run natively.)

Oh, & copy/paste the file using (Win7) built-in "unzip", gives me a SumatraPDF.exe of 03/01/1601 07:00:42 PM.

How do you like those crackers.

Version 1.31:

Fixed bug: When a program executed with RunAsDate requested to get the current time in GMT (GetSystemTime and GetSystemTimeAsFileTime API), RunAsDate provided the wrong time with a difference of one hour if the computer date was in summer (With daylight saving time) but the selected RunAsDate date was in winter (Without daylight saving time) and vice versa...

I'm using WinRar 3.93, in WinRAR the date modified is blank, when I extract the rar, the created file has a date modified of ‎Wednesday, ‎10 ‎February ‎1627, ‏‎20:32:01 (UTC+9:30) in Windows Explorer.

7Zip is also showing blank dates, when I extract it sets the extracted files date modified to the same as the zips date modified.

Is your temp folder on a FAT32 drive by any chance? maybe that's why this odd date is resetting to 1980?

I get the 1601 date when I use the built in Windows unzip too.

Post by **therube** » Tue Oct 11, 2016 2:30 pm

WinRAR 3.93, XP, NTFS, extracts to: 01/01/1601.
If I unset 'Set modification time' (in WinRAR), I get current date/time.

Is your temp folder on a FAT32 drive by any chance?

No.

The 1-1-1980 must be Salamander, & what it does when it doesn't find a "date".
(Like how 7-zip sets the date modified to the archive date.)

The fact that a date of 1-1-1980 may be "off", that's related (to all the "time" nonsense) & is a slightly different issue, IMO.
