When I export specific packets to a file, the date of the file modification is wrong. It should be 6/22/21 but is 10/31/2007. The time stamp on the bytes is correct, just not on the file. All other windows apps are saving files with the correct date How do I fix this problem
The NAS time was not correct, setting it corrected the problem. Didn't know the NAS had time keeping. Is there a way to make Wireshark use computer time for export vs. device time? We did have a power outage recently. Thanks for the help
The NAS time was not correct, setting it corrected the problem. Didn't know the NAS had time keeping.
The local file systems used by file servers generally support storing time stamps for files, because the clients expect that. This requires the servers to do time keeping.

No. Applications generally assume that the file system to which they're writing - whether local or remote - will take care of time stamps. I have no idea why the other apps are explicitly setting the time stamp, as that's the only way they're going to get the correct time stamp if the NAS box's time is wrong.

Works for me, what's your Wireshark version? Post the info from the Help -> About Wireshark -> Wireshark dialog.
My version; Version 3.4.6 (v3.4.6-0-g6357ac1405b8)
Can you post the full info section or at least the "Running on" section. Is Wireshark running in a VM or container that might have a different time set? Saving to local disk, network share, NAS?
The info:
(more)Time on the NAS is correct? I just did an export to a Synology and timestamps look good. It and the exporting system are using NTP so system times on both are pretty close.
