slic3r timestamp wrong on exported files

Hi, I have a new i3 Mk2 (and LOVING IT!!!) but one minor irritation is that when I export a gcode file from the (Prusa bundled) slic3r, the file modification time is wrong - about an hour in the past. This makes it difficult to find the file in a busy directory, as it doesn't naturally appear at the top of the directory listing (when sorting on modification time). I'm running Windows 8.1 with the latest (1.7.4) Prusa software bundle download.

I see that the Slic3r program is perl, and the start of the perl script uses "gettimeofday" - maybe this is where it's going wrong, but I'm not familiar with perl on windows so have no idea how to debug.

Any ideas?

PS - my timezone is GMT (London) and all other programs set file times correctly.

Re: slic3r timestamp wrong on exported files

I would expect the timestamp stored inside the G-code to be wrong, but not the timestamp of the file. That is weird, this timestamp shall be given by the operating system. Maybe you are writing onto some file server and the file server has its time zone set incorrectly?

If you believe it is a bug in Slic3r, please create an entry in the issue tracker.
