Description

Hello,

First let me say thank you for the on going development of this great file manager for Android!

Would there be any benefits to having the /root system of Android to reflect a present date, like when you first turned your device on, instead of 1969/1970?

I've always considered from a security perspective, something like this as beneficial, having correct dates and times...

Thanks
