It would require a tougher digging ;) Changeset -> FileoutAndKeep calls: ChangeSorter # fileOutAndKeep, which calls myChangeSet fileout, and inside that there is written Utilities dataTimeSuffix (But, not called always) ------- ChangeSet#fileout -------------------- fileOut | temp1 temp2 | temp2 _ self name. temp2 _ temp2 copyReplaceAll: 'AuthorName' with: Utilities authorName asUnaccented asCamelCase. temp2 _ Preferences changeSetVersionNumbers ifTrue: [ DirectoryEntry currentDirectory nextNameFor: temp2 coda: '-' , Utilities authorInitials extension: 'cs.st' ] ifFalse: [ (temp2 , '.' , Utilities dateTimeSuffix , '.cs.st') asFileName ]. temp2 asFileEntry writeStreamDo: [ :argm3_3 | -- cut-- ------------------------------------------------------- So "Utilities dateTimeSuffix" is not called always, only if there does not exist "Preferences changeSetVersionNumber". Now: --- in my workspace --- Utilities dateTimeSuffix . " '2021-08-15_09.47.14' " DateAndTime now. " 2021-08-15T09:47:16.832436+00:00 " ------------------------------ Observe they give the same time, let's forget about the locale that will be in another episode ;) => The "problem" is not there But this is the fileout i made 5 mins ago via ChangeSorter ----- shell ---- $> date Sun 15 Aug 2021 09:50:06 AM CEST $> p@deb4:~/prog/smalltalk$ ls -lrt | grep CuisCore -rw-r--r-- 1 p p 4267 Aug 15 09:43 4739-CuisCore-NicolaMingotti-2021Aug14-12h01m-NM.001.cs.st ----------------- Observe the 'Aug14-12h01' has nothing to do with DateTimeNow now, nor Utilities dateTimeSuffix output. My conclusion for the moment is: . If on fileout some relevant timing is found about the changeset then that data&time is used . If on fileout some relevant timing about the change is not found than the current data&time is used.

But `DateTime now` gives the correct time for my timezone. Is this output wanted or a mini-bug ? bye Nicola </div> -- Cuis-dev mailing list <a href="mailto:Cuis-dev@lists.cuis.st" target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">Cuis-dev@lists.cuis.st</a> <a href="https://lists.cuis.st/mailman/listinfo/cuis-dev" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">https://lists.cuis.st/mailman/listinfo/cuis-dev</a> </blockquote> </div> </blockquote> </body> </html>
