SYMPTOMS
When you view a file's creation time and date information, either or both the hour and date may be incorrect. Also, the time information may refer to a time or day in the future. Note that the minute information may be correct.



CAUSE
This issue can occur if you view creation time and date information for a file from a different time zone. Creation date and time information for a file is based on the local time for the current computer's time zone. For example, if you transfer a file from one time zone to another, it may appear to a remote viewer that the file's creation time and date information is incorrect.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
