The modified date of recovered pptx docx and xlsx files

#1 Post by peterhon »

Hi,
I am using photorec to recover file from hardisk. I can see the picture files, pdf and media files are recovered and the modified date is correct. However, the recovered pptx ,docx and xlsx files are all having the same modified date 1980-1-1.
I am thinking those file must be special and it cause photorec only get it with modified date as 1980-1-1. Anything I can do with photorec to handle those files specially.

Best

PhotoRec 7.1-WIP should already ignore this 1first January 1980 date/time. Can you check with latest 7.1-WIP ?
