SyncLocalDateAfterDownload - can it synchronize seconds?

Question

I noticed that when I download a folder using Synchronize with SyncLocalDateAfterDownload enabled, the local date is synchronized up to the minutes (seconds are always set to 00). IS there a way to change this behavior? Would it have a cost on performance?

When I download a single file I use GetLastWriteTime to synchronize the local time and that does bring the modification time including the seconds.

Answer 1

Synchronization doesn't support use of seconds. File listings don't supply seconds in timestamps, and the only other option would be use call GetLastWriteTime on every single file to be synchronized. As you suggest, this would have a significant impact on performance, especially for larger directories.

That's what I thought. Thanks!
