How to avoid changing the creation date of the file?

When FileBot renames and moves a movie it since some time obviously changes the file creation date / time (e.g. from 23.06.2016 to 17.06.1980 00:00:00 or 10.11.1970 01:00:00). How could I avoid it?

FileBot doesn't set the file creation date to the movie release date unless you have explicitly enabled that option. This feature is disabled by default.

How could I deactivate this option?

1.

This feature is disabled by default.

@see https://github.com/filebot/filebot/blob ... 4j.ini#L16

2.

Include System Information, i.e. Windows? Linux? Mac? Embedded? 64-bit? Which Java Runtime? What FileBot version?

Sorry, what does that mean? I cannot find such a file named "filebot.launcher.l4j.ini".
I use the portable version on Win 10.

Very sorry again, what does that mean?

Strange, I never have enabled such an option to change that time by intention.

Maybe there's a bug. Make sure you use the latest jar and make sure the useCreationDate option is disabled in your config.

I have found this file: FileBot.l4j.ini
Containing:

# do not use NTFS extended attributes for storing metadata
-DuseExtendedFileAttributes=true
-DuseCreationDate=false

Latest JAR => viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1609

Very strange, sorry, I do not understand what it is all about.

Replace the version of the jar you have, with the latest revision as described in the link above. See if that fixes the issue.

Alright, thank you very much!
