Description (last modified by )
Correct is, shows file creation time under Birth.
https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/statx.2.html
stx_btime
The file's creation timestamp.
I know that Haiku OS uses the word ctime to indicate file creation time, https://www.haiku-os.org/docs/api/classBStatable.html#ac80b82a49b8c757d4bf0034d70c33eb1.
Fills out ctime with the creation time of the node.
But Haiku OS ctime is not the same as Linux/Unix ctime.
Linux/Unix ctime means this here.
stx_ctime
The file's last status change timestamp.
The first solution is to do the same as with stat command under Linux.
If you don't like the first solution, I recommend to customize stat command under Haiku OS. That is Birth is removed as a word and Created is added. So the user has the same word (Created) as in Tracker.

Thank you for the information. I have reopened the report because current implementation of stat is very erroneous. The current implementation of stat command should be removed completely.
stat command should be implented only when it is properly adapted for Haiku OS and BFS.
The details are in this ticket.

This should be probably reported to HaikuPorts (https://github.com/haikuports/haikuports/issues), where Haiku stat patches are located.

https://github.com/haikuports/haikuports/issues/5628 is now closed ATM x86_64
This was only tested with the Live CD. As you can see, I edited the text file but only "Modify" was updated but not "Change".
Here is a second bug:
When I install Haiku OS (R1/beta3) on the hard disk and edit the text file and run stat command. "Modify" and "Change" are automatically updated. But file creation time "Birth" is not displayed, so I have changed the main post. The second bug needs to be fixed.
