access-date is a free and simple OSAX addition which grants AppleScript scripts fast, native access to the two forms of a file`s last access date: · UNIX access date: the "time of last access" field (st_atimespec) from calling stat(2). · metadata access date: the kMDItemLastUsedDate attribute from Metadata.framework.
The UNIX access date tends to be more accurate than the metadata access date -- too accurate. Even Quick-Looking a file will update its UNIX access date, which makes sense but often is too twitchy for our purposes.
