File time off by an hour...

[Keith (Gulf Breeze Ortho Lab)]

Hmmmm. No responses to this. I did experiment a bit and noticed that when I 
set my PC's time zone to Eastern time in lieu of Central time, the file 
times show correctly. Also, without switching time zones, the file dates 
show an hour behind for files saved during months falling in daylight 
savings, and show correctly for files saved during months not falling in 
daylight savings... Weird. Is this a bug? Anyone have a workaround?

Thanks,

Hi All,

I am using detailed files to obtain a file's date and time modified 
(converting it to short date and short time)... All works well, but I 
noticed the following... Several of my files have a date of 9/24/11 with a 
time of 2:26 PM (as shown in Windows explorer). However, when I obtain and 
convert the date and time in LiveCode, the date appears correctly, but the 
time is off by 1 hour and shows as 1:26 PM in lieu of 2:26 PM. However, when 
I open the file and save it, it shows the correct time after modifying the 
file. (The problem seems to be with older files from several months back.)

Does this have something to do with daylight savings time or something? How 
can I ensure that the file modified time that's shown in a LiveCode app. 
appears exactly as it appears in Windows explorer? FYI: I am on Central Time 
here...

Thanks,

- Boo
