See who/what program changed a file
-
Similar to the FileWatcher, which checks a folder and see when a file changes. I want to see this info on files that have already been changed. All I can get to is the time of the creation time, attributes, last access and last write times. I want to see who/what program changed the file. (Metadata) Please can anybody help!? -- modified at 2:37 Thursday 16th February, 2006

I don't think that's possible. You could write an application that would monitor the system from *now* on and write this information to a database or whatever. Q:What does the derived class in C# tell to it's parent? A:All your base are belong to us!
Yes I know about the FileWatcher, but thnx anyway!

I am trying to tell you that I think there is no way to get that aditional information for files changed in the past. Q:What does the derived class in C# tell to it's parent? A:All your base are belong to us!
OK, thanx

This information is not tracked by the file system, so there is no place to get it from... RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome

I downloaded a free dll, called iTextSharp, which you use to create and read pdf files. With that i got the information. Title, Author, Producer, Creator, Creation Time and Modified Time. When the file is changed (in my case OCRed), the Producer changes, depending on what program changed it. Then I can see if a pdf have been OCRed. Thanx for replying:)

Great! You didn't mention you wre looking for this in PDF's alone. We thought you were looking for this kind of information in any file, which just doesn't get tracked by the file system. RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome
