Quark Xpress And Illustrator File Creation Date Problems

I like to check how much time I worked on new projects by checking the difference between the creation date and the last save I've made to the documents.

I've notice a problem with the file creation and modification dates with Quark and Illustrator documents on Mac OS X 10.4.3.

As soon as you save the document, the creation date is automatically changed to the date of your modification. As if the file is completely replaced and not appended to.

Anybody as noticed the same problem ?

What format is the hard drive in that you are saving the files to? HFS+? FAT32?

FAT32 has been known to do this -- for example, when copying files to a FAT32 device via the Finder, you may find that both the modified and creation dates are set to the time the file was copied, making it difficult to tell when the file was really created.
