Trying to understand the "dwsync.xml" files in the "_notes" folders – "Dst=1|2|-1" and the timestamp

[Guest]

I'm using Dreamweaver 21.2 (latest version) and I use the FTP sync feature (I activated the "keep sync information" setting in the site definition) and currently I'm trying to analyze a problem where DW want's to sync although there has nothing changed on both sides (remote and local), especially after the daylight saving time started or ended.

In the "_notes" folders there are the "dwsync.xml" files with the sync information. There are lines like this in them:

<file name="file.js" server="example.com" local="132883841423432900" remote="132883842000000000" Dst="1" />

 Now I'm wondering what the "Dst=" means. Sometimes it's 1, sometimes 2 and sometimes -1. And how to read those timestamps? They are obviously no UNIX timestamps.

I could not find anything on the web concerning this. Do you have an idea?

Some questions, indeed many, have no direct answers because what the poster asks is not the basis of their problem.

We frequently cut to the chase and drive a direct line from what you want to have happen to this is how to achieve it.  It saves everyone's time and in my experience, that's how most technical forums work.

This thread is really messy.
Starting with the most important thing...
1. King - Are you all good with your issue?

2. Any mod / MVP / ACP stuff should be discussed in those correct channels or DM, not on a thread.

3. Do not want to cause offense or burst any bubbles but managing files and deployment discussions here are far from modern approaches. In context to Dream weaver, options to use things to avoid - All good information. Should anyone really be doing any of these through DW - No, not really.

Don't be a party pooper, this forum, like its name sake, is slowly dying. This discussion, and others like it, keeps it on life support.

Yes and no. No, because I do not have any answers to my question. Yes, because I'm switching to another software, because all the bugs DW has are not fixed anymore. I see no future for DW and me (I mean in combination 😉 ).
