XYplorer Beta Club
When I configure 'Backup To' and select 'Preserve all item dates' I am finding that only files have their dates and times preserved. When I list the 3 files and 3 folders concerned in XY the status line refers to 6 items so it seems XY regards folders as being 'items' but does not preserve their date and time stamps. Is that an error? If not may I suggest that the 'Backup To' 'Preserve all item dates' option is changed to 'Preserve all file dates' as that would be more accurate?

Hm, cannot confirm. Over here, all folder dates are preserved with those settings.

Re: 'Backup To' 'Preserve all item dates'
This 'Backup To' was from an external USB HDD to an internal HDD. Of interest I had previously made the transfer from the same external USB HDD to an internal SSD on another computer running Windows 7 x86 and with a lower version of XY. The reason I tried again was in the hope that an up to date windows version and a higher version of XY might make a difference.

That does not make a difference. It works with all kinds of drives in all directions.
Can you reproduce the issue?

Re: 'Backup To' 'Preserve all item dates'
Well, why not try it again with the current version?

Re: 'Backup To' 'Preserve all item dates'
Just tried again with version 26.90.0300 - now it works!
Maybe running 14.80.0200 and then 26.90.0300 made a difference?
