timestamps local or gmt

[fpefpe]

Hello --- the 3 timestamps in the efu file is the 64-bit value that windows stores for the timestamp of the file --- by definition that value is GMT, so is the value in the efu file the GMT value? Thanks

It is Universal Time (UTC), a timezone independent way of time notation (GMT is a timezone, that happens to result in the same time (AFAIK)).

This is used by Windows too (they call it FILETIME) and will be converted to local time by the applications that will display the time, like the date/time in File Explorer or Everything.
When you open an EFU FileList in Everything, the shown times are local times.

thanks for the info -- I recall reading that the time in the efu file could be in iso8601 format so would a string in the form

2020-11-11T15:30Z

or

2020-05-05T11:12-05:00

work?

Thanks

EFU files support ISO8601 timestamps.


An option to save filelists from Everything 1.5 with ISO8601 timestamps is in development.
