pymv doesn't preserve timestamp #3

Closed jadedgnome closed 7 years ago

jadedgnome commented 11 years ago

i used pvmv to move files from one drive to another and was surprised to find out it didn't preserve my orginal time-stamped info ion the files.. please make it default behavior.

please add preserve timestamp switch/operator for pycp too.

I'll think about it, but not sure what to do. A full --preserve option ala cp seems a bit overkill.

Why do you need the timestamps to be preserved, and which of them ?

jadedgnome commented 11 years ago

I just want to preserve the date. "last modified". I prefer to know when a file was last saved/downloaded. I regularly sort/search by date and keeping the dates as they were hinges on it.

I think this has been fixed in 7.0. Closing
