Preserve dates when folder is moved between drives

[Tamil]

Currently folder dates are modified when moving from one drive to another.

The Backup file operation now preserves all three dates (modified, created, accessed) in copied files and folders.

I can use backup option to preserve date, but I have to delete source manually after backup.

A small price for the date preservation service.

Lo prio, I'm afraid. The roadmap is calling louder!

But that's the standard behavior of Windows Explorer.
It changes the dates for the folder and preserves the files.

Why should XY be different in this respect?


If you implement this Don, please make it either a new action or optional. Maybe I'm being selfish, but I certainly wouldn't want this as the default.

I would never change the standard behavior of the shell file operations. What I could do (if I had the time) would be to delete the sources after backup. Then of course I would not call this "backup" anymore, but "Move (Preserve Dates)" or so...

Good, that's a fine way of handling this.

I didn't think you would change the standard behavior, but I was a bit concerned I might be wrong.
