13 It turns out that the difference is in the 'c' switch to ls. With the
14 switch I get this (grepping for a single file of the many):
15
16 $ find . -iname \*.jpg -exec ls '-cdhl' {} \; | grep DSC_1810.JPG
17 -r-xr-xr-x 1 prh prh 3.7M Aug 11 17:32 ./images/BOH-2009/DSC_1810.JPG
18
19 and without it I get this:
20
21 $ find . -iname \*.jpg -exec ls '-dhl' {} \; | grep DSC_1810.JPG
22 -r-xr-xr-x 1 prh prh 3.7M Oct 28 2009 ./images/BOH-2009/DSC_1810.JPG
23
24 Perhaps some process I ran on 11 August this year touched the file
25 without modifying it. Anyway, it seems there isn't a problem (except in
26 my website[1] management techniques, perhaps). Thanks anyway.
