Fix creation timestamp for system files - currently shows 1969/1970

Open 0pLuS0 opened this issue 7 years ago • 4 comments

Hello,

First let me say thank you for the on going development of this great file manager for Android!

Would there be any benefits to having the /root system of Android to reflect a present date, like when you first turned your device on, instead of 1969/1970?

I've always considered from a security perspective, something like this as beneficial, having correct dates and times...

Thanks

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by "reflect" a present date. You mean the file creation dates?

Yes the Creation Date...

I don't understand why in Unix/Linux computers we can have proper dates of when things were created, but in Android we see many files/directories saying 1969/1970...

This might help solve the issue, although there might not be any creation time data.

Hmm not sure I follow on this...

Oh well, it would just be nice that when Android devices are made, these dates are there to begin with. After all many of these apps, etc, were not created in 1969...
