Hello Christian,

It seems that db:list-details() shows the same "modified-date" attribute for all resources in a database which is same as the last-modified time of any of the paths.

Example :

db:list-details('project1')

<resource raw="false" content-type="application/xml" modified-date="2012-06-03T12:14:06.154Z">RESULT/SOURCEID3/5/filename3</resource>
<resource raw="false" content-type="application/xml" modified-date="2012-06-03T12:14:06.154Z">RESULT/SOURCEID1/1/filename1</resource>

REPLACE RESULT/SOURCEID1/1/filename1 C:\sample1.xml

db:list-details('project1')

<resource raw="false" content-type="application/xml" modified-date="2012-06-03T12:34:10.051Z">RESULT/SOURCEID3/5/filename3</resource>
<resource raw="false" content-type="application/xml" modified-date="2012-06-03T12:34:10.051Z">RESULT/SOURCEID1/1/filename1</resource>

Note that even though RESULT/SOURCEID3/5/filename3 was not replaced, its modified date is same as the file that was replaced.

I assume that's a bug. I checked in the issue database, but didn't find any similar bug.

Thanks,

Anupam

please note that there's no guarantee that collection() or db:open()
will return all documents in the order they have originally been added
to the database. Next, future version of BaseX will most probably
outlaw the storage of documents with identical names [1], which is why
I'd second Jens' proposal to assign different names to your documents.
