Copy folders from android to windows maintaining timestamps #192

Files seems to maintain timestamps after a copy, but the folders have timestamps for the time/date of the copy operation. Is it possible to keeps the folder timestamps after the copy?

This is the way the Android / Unix file system (as well as File Explorer) works. A folder's date modified specifies the last date any of the folder's contents have been modified (which does not include its name). A copied file on the other hand, doesn't change its content, hence the date remains unchanged.
