Wrong date of 'exe' generated in MacOS with PB573

Hello.

First at all, excuse me for my bad English

I'm rookie with PureBasic (and in this forum

and it's possible that my doubt was commented in other thread but I can't find it...

My doubt is: I'm using PB 5.73 with MacOS and, when I generate a new .exe, the date and time attributes of generate file are correct, but when I update the file with new compilations, the attribute time of file is updated with a wrong value. I have a .pb updated at 9:53h and the .exe was generated at same time, but .exe it shows 8:48h

I tested this in WinXP and the .exe time is correct, so this can be a problem with MacOS version (I didn't this test in Linux)

Someone more has detected this issue?

Kind regards and thanks a lot in advance!

Wellcome

I know that

That's because an app under MacOS is a folder and it is not created anew.
If you open the folder (show package contents) and look in the folder /Contents/MacOS, the application is up to date.

Solution: Delete the app first.

No Bug!

Date of Program:

Code:

prg.s = ProgramFilename()
date = GetFileDate(prg, #PB_Date_Modified)
Debug FormatDate("%YYYY.%MM.%DD-%HH:%II:%SS", date)

Thank you very much for the welcome and the quick response.

Of course you are right, I forgot that an .app file is, as you say, a directory.

Thanks a lot!
