Is It Possible For A File To Be Modified Before It Was Created?

Is it possible for a file to be modified before it was created?

Unfortunately I don't think time travel has not been discovered here. I believe that the "Created Date" is the date that the file was placed in it's current directory, which may or may not be related to it's original date of creation.

Graham is correct. Creation Date is independent of the file's data, whereas the Modified Date indicates a change to the file's data.

I think Marty McFly was the designer.....

Thanks Graham,  that makes sense.

if you open your .plan file with a text editor and scroll down ignoring all the gobbledegook you will see a lot of info about the file creation date, type, timestamp, version number first created in, etc etc.located on 1 line.
