We don't do anything with Finder's Get Info - it's managed entirely by Finder. You can't rely upon that value to give you any accurate value of when the volume was modified by SD...

I know that measuring the size of every folder on a drive requires looking inside each of them and can take a long time. I suppose checking file modification dates and volume modification dates could create similar problems. |

Absolutely not - there's nothing 'not recommended' in using standard APIs to do copies.

Thanks for responding so quickly
I didn't mean to imply that there was (at least not in any derisive fashion). There's LOTS of stuff I know nothing about on the Mac. For example, when I learned way back in 1984 or '85 that comments I put in the little box that accepted such info in each file's "Get Info" comment box weren't really a PART of the file, but part of another, quite fragile, "Desktop" file that could be "rebuilt" (actually, DESTROYED and rebuilt), that blew me away.
