Get correct Modifed date for folders or hide the modified date only for folders

[Brian Crawford]

Hi, when using azure blob storage, folder details show a Modified Date of January 01, 1 00:00:00 and a size of 3.6MB for an empty folder.  How can I get the actual modified date and size for folders?  I can hide the details in the context menu, toolbar, and layout but I don't want to hide these columns in the details view because I want them to be visible for files.  If I could hide the values for folders but not files, that would work, but I'd prefer to get real data for the modified date and size values.

Hi Brian, 

 

Good day to you, 

 

We have checked your reported query that size and dateModified for empty folder. For size related issue, you can add the empty file in your application for creating empty folder. It will show size as 0 bytes. Refer the below code snippet. 

 

   

 protected async Task CreateFolderAsync(string path, string name, IEnumerable<object> selectedItems = null) 

        { 

            ... 

            ... 

            else 

            { 

                CloudBlockBlob blob = container.GetBlockBlobReference(path + name + "/About.txt"); 

                blob.Properties.ContentType = "text/plain"; 

                await blob.UploadTextAsync(""); 

            } 

        } 

 

While checking on DateModified issue, we consider this as a bug from our end, this will be included in our Volume 4 Release which is expected to be released at the end of December. Until then, track the below link for bug status.
