I render to file sequences then i re-render the same scene to same folder using exactly same name. So i'm replacing the old render. When i check the render files in explorer (windows 10) the data information is not updating. It's still showing the date of couple days ago (when i did the previous render). This is really confusing when i need to check in explorer which frames has been updated /replaced with new render.

Is this Blender problem ? or windows 10?

  • Have you check the Overwrite box? Maybe it is skipping existing files with the same name. – rob Apr 25 '19 at 12:55
  • @rob Not skipping at all, i check and re-load the render into compositing app (like Nuke etc). Everytime i rendered , the output is updating. so it's 1000% confirmed that the render files has been replaced but the date is still showing the old one (in window explorer). For example i render the red sphere 2 days ago, then now i change the color to green. If i load the render, it's showing the green sphere but still the date is showing 2 days ago. – andio Apr 26 '19 at 12:07

I can replicate that in Windows 10 and the default Explorer window. By creating a basic animation with the default Cube in Green and then re-rendering with Red.

If I check the resulting file Properties then, the Date Modified and Date Accessed values are updated correctly.

This is expected behaviour. Windows is only showing the Created Date

In Explorer you can go to the View menu and click Add Columns to add Date Modified and "Choose Columns" to add Date Accessed.

From what I can tell, this is when Windows decides the folder you are in is designated"Photos", as all my other folders default to show Date Modified.
