Hi DM,

Wondering about how files are considered "new" to the system.  I like to see when something new has been uploaded, and usually see that when I grab a QWK packet which includes notifications of new uploads.  What I'd like to see a change in is usually an issue with FTN file echos, where a file is uploaded with a name that has been uploaded before.  A common one is something like INFOPACK.ZIP which may come in weekly from an FTN distribution echo.  Since it's the same filename as before, it doesn't get recognized as a new file when added to the file base by the TIC processor (TickIT).  It always keeps the originally uploaded date, instead of the new file date.  Here's a screenshot which shows the issue pretty well:

Is there a way to use the "File Date" instead of the originally "Uploaded" date in the logic to detect a new file?  I can put in a git feature request if you'd like, but thought I'd just ask here first to see if it's possible.  Thank you.
