When daylight saving day changes, why are files that have not changed copied?
InSync uses file date stamps to determine if a change in the file has occurred. Each operating systems has its own way of storing file timestamps. Some operating systems like Windows 98 store the local time, others like Windows XP store the universal time (Greenwich mean time). If local time is used then the file’s timestamp will appear to change when daylight saving time changes. InSync has no way to determine how the timestamps are stored. If the source and target folders are on hardware whose operating systems use different file timestamping strategies, then the files will appear to have changed whenever the daylight saving time changes.
