Summary: timestamps are differently "formatted"
Initial Comment:
Here are timestamps present for each "file" obtained withTSK.
The issues is that, those timestamps are differently "formatted" for different File Systems.
For example:
- for FAT timestamps are represented as adjusted to localtime.
- for NTFS timestamps are represented as they are (seems like this is better for a Client)
Is this a good behavior of TSK for a Client ? - seems like timestamps should not be formatted before returning them to a Client (like it is done for FAT) - they should be returned to a Client as they are. Is not this correct?
This issue is for FAT due to using mktime (at dos2unixtime function) - this function performs an adjustment accordingly to a localtime.

Message:
The difference is because FAT stores the times in the timezone of the
computer and not in GMT. TSK adjusts the FAT times to GMT time based on the
timezone of the analysis computer so that it is consistent in TSK_FS_META
with other file systems.
