Need to recover modification date and time of files and directories

[gallegojm]

Hi I am updating my FtpServer library to use your new version of SdFat. I need to recover the modification date and time of files and can not do it out of SdFat anymore as I was doing with older version. I solved it adding those three routines (based on existing routines printModifyDateTime() ) In FatFile class:

bool FatFile::getModifyDateTime( uint16_t * pdate, uint16_t * ptime ) {
  DirFat_t dir;
  if (!dirEntry(&dir)) {
    DBG_FAIL_MACRO;
    goto fail;
  }
    * pdate = getLe16( dir.modifyDate );
    * ptime = getLe16( dir.modifyTime );
  return true;
fail:
  return false;
}

In ExtFatFile class:

bool ExFatFile::getModifyDateTime( uint16_t * pdate, uint16_t * ptime ) {
  DirFile_t* df = reinterpret_cast<DirFile_t*>
                 (m_vol->dirCache(&m_dirPos, FsCache::CACHE_FOR_READ));
  if (!df) {
    DBG_FAIL_MACRO;
    goto fail;
  }
    * pdate = getLe16( df->modifyDate );
    * ptime = getLe16( df->modifyTime );
  return true;
fail:
  return false;
}

In FsBaseFile class (inline inFsFile.h)

  bool getModifyDateTime( uint16_t * pdate, uint16_t * ptime ) {
    return m_fFile ? m_fFile->getModifyDateTime(pdate,ptime) :
           m_xFile ? m_xFile->getModifyDateTime(pdate,ptime) : false;
  }

Is it possible you add those routines in your next release? Or to give me an idea of how to solve it out of the library?

Thank you for your library

I will provide these functions in the next release:

bool getAccessDateTime( uint16_t * pdate, uint16_t * ptime );
bool getCreateDateTime( uint16_t * pdate, uint16_t * ptime );
bool getModifyDateTime( uint16_t * pdate, uint16_t * ptime );

FAT32/FAT16 only has access date so I will return zero for time.

Thank you so much!
