Re: File timestamp off by 1 hour
[added for reference]
The off by 1 hour is when comparing the date/time of a file within FlashFXP to the date/time of a file exact same file in Windows Explorer. Windows Explorer does some magic to adjust the timestamp of a file that was recently created/modified adjusting for the DST switch.
FlashFXP does not employ the same magic as Windows Explorer and that is why FlashFXP doesn't match the timestamp shown Windows Explorer.
There is a reason for this is that the magic used by Windows Explorer varies between different versions of Windows OS, Other factors may exist such as file-system (FAT32, NTFS, etc) and it's difficult to match the exact same behavior for remote files because the timestamp isn't always in UTC and depending on the server software, hardware, and configuration (server local time to UTC) tzdata it might not use the same tzdata (UTC to local time) as FlashFXP. So for the sake of sanity (within FlashFXP) and consistency (when transferring files based on date/time rules) we don't follow the behavior found in Windows Explorer.
