I agree that from a purely technical point of view, there is some inherent logic in that. From the user's point of view, this is, however, not understandable.
You can ask yourself which information a user would expect to have: The birthdate of the file or the date of some copying process. Secondly, you can ask yourself whether you ever wondered about the COPYING DATE of a file. And, once again: Cf. Wikipedia, s.v. "Software bug": "A software bug (or just "bug") is an error, flaw, mistake, failure, fault or "undocumented feature" in a computer program that prevents it from behaving as intended ... ." IMHO this applies here: If you copy a file, you expect your file creation date not to be destroyed. Current defaults prevents the software from behaving as intended by the bug filer. -- Copyng a file to a NTFS drive change the date and the time of the file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157396 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
