Actually, they would be to exclude the idea that magic imprints could be involved. A sensible "magic" implementation wouldn't try to read those from empty files ;) >Looks like atime just isn't as useful as I had hoped it would >be. I'm going to go for a different solution. I was going to point out that there are ways to enable atime only for certain directory trees but apparently that's a moot point now :) >No, I do not have that panel enabled.
