I have found that after multiple migrations from one computer to another, some of my file creation dates are incorrect. I don't use JD but I do have a lot of stuff in yearly folders and some of it's clearly wrong. Like I know that I started one of my graphic novels in 2012 but some of the first few pages have dates in 2014 and 2019. Did a computer migration change the dates? Did some edit I did later on save it as a new file? I don't know. I just know the date's way off.
I agree that the choice to have any system is important.
Totally agree. Consider the simple act of copying a file. Will it retain the original date or start fresh? There is a correct answer, but maybe it depends on the operating system, or the program you're using to do the copy. But I don't care. "Ain't nobody got time for that." When I want to know the creation date or if I just want a unique name I add a the date as a suffix; 022125. It also helps that it's much easier to see at a glance.
