1.11.2 Creation date improperly modified on one local drive, but not the other

Post by dave80 »

The Creation Date/time of my photos is being improperly modified when I edit metadata or perform lossless operations.
Photos on my local drive C are unaffected.
Photos on my local drive D are affected.
I have tested this on both of my computers, both have the same problem.
Platform: Windows 10 Home 64bit.
XnView MP: 1.11.2

These are my Date/Time Settings.

When I add a star rating to a JPEG on local drive C, the creation date/time is not modified.
When I add a star rating to a JPEG on local drive D, the creation date/time is improperly modified immediately.

When I do a lossless rotate to a JPEG on local drive C, the creation date/time is not modified.
When I do a lossless rotate to a JPEG on local drive D, the creation date/time is improperly modified but only after navigating to another folder and back again, or exiting and reopening XnView MP.

Local drive C. Creation date/time not modified.

Local drive D Creation date/time improperly modified.

Pierre, yes, he said NTFS for both drives.

Here is background on this issue.
viewtopic.php?p=214096#p214096

I could not reproduce it, of course, but neither could I find any cause. According to the user, drives are locally attached NTFS, no NAS.

If all the information provided by the OP is accurate, then it's a very strange issue.

Yes Pierre, NTFS for both drives.
I have tried a clean install of XnView MP 1.11.5 but unfortunately the problem remains.

Certainly, here are the results.

fsutil 8dot3name query C:
The volume state is: 0 (8dot3 name creation is enabled).
