file copy does not preserve "date modified". Sometimes.

When copying a file, sometimes the "date modified" attribute changes to the current date/time.
By sometimes I mean as follows:
1) Copy & Paste a file within a pane, or copy from pane to pane --> new "date modified"
2) Erase the copy and repeat case 1 --> preserves "date modified"
Also, when extracting a file from a .rar archive, always creates a new "date modified".
Any ideas?

Are you using XY's "Custom Copy"?

1) "Copy to Other Pane (Ctrl+F6)"
2) Select file on pane 1 and Ctl+C, then switch to pane 2, or stay on the same pane, and Ctl+v

No. (I assume you meant ticketed?)

Only Custom Copy can ensure that the dates are preserved. Otherwise your are left with Windows Shell Copy with the results you are getting.

Just tick Configuration | File Operations | Custom Copy Operations | Use Custom Copy.
There is also something in the Help file about it...
