I recently moved my MW CW 7 folder, containing IDE 4.2.6 (and CW for
PalmOS v8), from an old Mac running OS 10.1.5 to an iBook running OS
10.2.6. I used to be able to browse source files from the CW IDE
without having the modification date (as listed by the Finder and the
ls -l command) change. But now on the new system, just looking at a
source file, without doing any editing or of saves on the file, causes
the modification date to change and a checkmark to appear in the
project browser. This then causes a much longer rebuild recompiling a
bunch of source code which hasn't changed. The IDE preferences for
save window size and selection position was enabled on both the old
and the new Macs, so I don't think that's the cause...

So what could have changed? Is this a fixable situation?

Thanks.

IMHO. YMMV.

To answer my own question, after a little more comparison of the
directories on the two systems I found out that I had used a different
user account when copying my project directory. Even though I had
group rwx permissions to read/write all the files and directories,
when I did an "sudo chown -R" to myself, that fixed the changing
modification date problem.
