Files copied from 1 computer to another show 1 hour time dif

Post by SpudMan »

I copied a directory from my desktop to my laptop and then tried to do a ExamDiff Pro (3.4 beta) comparision of the files in that directory to a similar directory already on my laptop.

Some files show same and some show a 1 hour (+/- 1 second) difference in the time stamps. On those files I get a Older or Newer indication when they are actually the same.

Suggestions?

Thanks, Bob

To prevent this in future: check the Timezone and Daylight Saving settings on both machines .
