Should be.
But as mentioned, I was concerned with having the current
files on the USB drive. New files on the HD library won't exist on the thumbdrive,and updated versions of existing files are almost certain to be be a different size. So for my purposes, whether I was checking time stamps as well as file sizes didn't
matter. I turned time stamp checking back on for possible cases where it might, but since all I've actually used FFS for thus far is syncing the HD copy of the Calibre Library with the thumb drive copy, I could have just left it off.
(I do occasionally see cases where FFS decides many OPF files are out of sync and transfers fresh copies to the thumb drive. That may be an artifact of time stamps that would go away if I turned that off, but I just let it happen. I draw the line at transferring fresh copies of everything when the library is large enough I already had to migrate it to a larger thumb drive...)
