Description Colin 2022-06-29 14:45:48 UTC
Description:
I am using LibreOffice 7.3.4.2. Today I noticed that if I save a version of an MS-Office file (e.g. xslx, docx), the time/date stamp does not change. If I save a new version, it assigns the correct date, but incorrect time (I am on EST and it assigned a time 4 hours earlier). It correctly notes the time if I save with LibreOffice extensions (e.g. ods, odt). This occurred in both Writer and Calc.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open a LibreOffice file (or a MS-Office file in LibreOffice)
2.Save as MS-Office file
3.Check the timestamp

Actual Results:
Date/Timestamp did not change, or was assigned wrong if this is the first save.

Expected Results:
Date/Time stamp should have updated


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

NOT reproducible  with  Installation of Version: 7.3.3.2 (x64) 
Build ID: d1d0ea68f081ee2800a922cac8f79445e4603348
CPU threads: 12; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: de-DE |  Calc: threaded | ElementaryTheme | My normal User Profile	

I saved a sample.odt as .odt and .cocx. Both showed same time stamp for "created" and "last change". Same time stamp values in WIN Files explorer and in document attributes I see in LibO

@reporter:
Please create a much more precise and detailed step by step instruction how to reproduce your problem.
