If i copy a file from Windows10 with WindowsExplorer to my moto G6 phone, the new created file have imediately the correct ModifyDate like the original file on Windows. Java File.setLastModified() from an app on moto device works also.
I tested to set IPortableDeviceValues with PROPERTYKEY Values from WPD_OBJECT_DATE_MODIFIED in CreateObjectWithPropertiesAndData() in my TransferContentToDevice() code, but its dosn't work (see code example).
Is it posible to set date modified while copy a file to mobile devices? Or is WindowsExplorer using a different mechanism? If yes, which in detail and can i use it from c#/vb.net? Or is there an other way in PortableDeviceApiLib to change modified date after the file ist created? Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
// typical code according to Christophe Geers
public void TransferContentToDevice(string fileName, string parentObjectId)
{
IPortableDeviceContent content;
this._device.Content(out content);
IPortableDeviceValues values = GetRequiredPropertiesForContentType(fileName, parentObjectId);
PortableDeviceApiLib.IStream tempStream;
uint optimalTransferSizeBytes = 0;
content.CreateObjectWithPropertiesAndData(values, out tempStream, ref optimalTransferSizeBytes, null);
...

}
