Not impressed. Thinks that we are back in 1903 - balancedview

Not sure if this may be related, but I have seen the 1903 date on some of my files that (a) were created on PC, so have no create date OSX attribute - thus the OS stuck a 1903 in there, or
(b) on some files that had problems with the resource fork, either because of copying to non-Mac volume or otherwise. Again, they get assigned a 1903 date for reasons unknown.

Reason this info may be helpful to you is that I have not installed the Better Finder Attributes (BFA), so the 1903 date on my files must be caused by some other mechanism than BFA.

Hi,

Sounds like the date formatting issue resolved in 4.5.6.

This was actually due to a new bug introduced into the OS X Cocoa date formatters with a recent OS X point update (10.4.9?).

Version 4.5.6 contains a workaround, but the situation is cleared up properly in OS X 10.5. It's within the realms of possibility that the 10.4.11 update may contain the same fix..

In general, if you find problems please contact me directly at reiff@publicspace.net, so that I can resolve problems quickly.

Best regards,

Frank
