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 StarckNovaDerm Skincare Sciencehttp://www.novaderm.comhelpdesk@novaderm.com866-892-4149-------------------------------------------------------------This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .To unsubscribe, E-mail to: To switch to the DIGEST mode, E-mail to Web Archive of this list is at: http://webdna.smithmicro.com/-------------------------------------------------------------This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .To unsubscribe, E-mail to: To switch to the DIGEST mode, E-mail to Web Archive of this list is at: http://webdna.smithmicro.com/
