texte = Hello- I need to preserve file creation dates when using [copyfile] (or [movefile] for that matter). I am moving about 10,000 image files in .TIF format from our Windows 2003 (non WebCat) server with rsync to our OS X WebCat server for processing. The file creation dates stay intact on this move. On the OS X server, I have a WebCat template that changes the filename from one string to another, and then I copy all of these images to another folder on the OS X box using [copyfile] to change the images names. Problem is, I have to preserve the original creation dates for these converted files. When I use [copyfile], though, the file creation dates are changed to today's date. Any suggestions/ideas appreciated in advance... -- Will Starck NovaDerm Skincare Science http://www.novaderm.com helpdesk@novaderm.com 866-892-4149 ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
