Back after a long time (v5.6), now V8 trial.. with questions

1 - I noticed that X1 will open zip files, but report the content of the zip files as new (actually of the indexing date). This is most likely wrong, but I wanted to have a confirmation that this might be a bug? Example: I have a zip with a date of 31.3.2010. The date of the files within the zip file are mostly 20.5.2009. Now comes the problem: The date of the same files in the X1 frontend show 22.07.2014 (this is when I started to index). I consider this as a bug. (Or hidden feature if you like). Any comments?

I don't see this. Maybe I don't understand it though.

Are you showing the right column for the date? There are plenty to choose from.

I have found a PDF file, based on its content, that sits in a zip file. It shows various dates. If I show the Date Modified column the information is the same as it appears in the zip itself.

In general, I find that X1 is a pig when it comes to all those columns. The "hard wired" searches are a mess. The Everything searches come with all sorts of extraneous junk? Do I need to know the "duration" of a file? (That column comes from a "Meeting" entry.)

I have spent some of this afternoon weeding out rubbish. You might find it fruitful to investigate the columns and to find the ones that work for you and do what you want.
