Unable to report file creation time

[msevcenko]

On Windows, when I set the FileStat.st_ctim value in the getattr method, it has no effect. File manager still reports uninitialized creation time, i.e. ‎January 1st, 1970, ‏‎0:00:00 GMT. The FileStat.st_mtim value is correctly reported as modification time. Only for files, Windows do not display modification for directories, as they have no content so that they cannot be modified.

Is this jnr-fuse issue, or is it caused by something else?

It would be also nice to implement these attributes in the MemoryFS example so that it's proven that it works.

Looks like I should be using stat.st_birthtime instead of FileStat.st_ctim, on Windows, is that right? The javadoc says st_birthtime is Mac OS specific.

Or is it safe to set both fields, to be platform independent?

[msevcenko]

Ok, looks like a duplicate of #51.

The st_ctim is actually a "last status change", not a creation time.

I also have the last release 0.5.1, which is quite old (Oct 2017), which does not have the mentioned pull request yet.

[msevcenko]

Ok, there is 0.5.2.1 on jcenter, 0.5.1 is the latest release on maven central.

Hey, @msevcenko!

Can you please link the ref to jnr-fuse on maven central? jnr-fuse has never been published to maven central, only to jcenter.

Hi,

I mean https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.github.serceman/jnr-fuse

[SerCeMan]

Hm, it seems to be referencing another repository called Spring Plugins. I've never heard about this repository before, but I assume that jnr-fuse might be included as one of the transitive dependencies.

[msevcenko]

Ok, forget it :) I just use mvnrepository.com to search for plugins and it indexes several repositories, and I just mistaken Spring Plugins for mavenCentral. So now I know where to look for latest releases, thanks.
