I am beginning to understand why I am confused.

I am using a single File Browser in Windows 7 with the
file view being set to "Details". If I browse to a
directory containing, say, *.pro files, then my browser
interface has a column labeled "Date Modified" and the dates
reflect when I last opened and made a change to the
file.

If I now browse to a directory containing, say,
only *.png files, then the browser interface no
longer has a column labeled "Date Modified", but
instead has a column labeled "Date". This date is
no longer the date the file was modified, but
is clearly the date when the file was originally
created.

I realize this is Windows. But this is weird
behavior even for Windows! :-(

Cheers,

David
