  - ### Method Detail

    - #### isValid

          public boolean isValid()

      This algorithm doesn't need any configuration. Therefore it's always valid.
      Specified by:

      Returns:
        always true

    - #### getValue

          public java.lang.String getValue​(java.io.File file)

      Computes a 'timestamp' for a file based on the lastModified time.
      Specified by:
        `getValue` in interface `Algorithm`
      Parameters:
        `file` - The file for which the value should be computed
      Returns:
        the timestamp or null if the timestamp couldn't be computed
