When an archive is decompressed, original folder/file date-time stamps should be preserved. Current behavior sets them to the date-time of extraction.
Perhaps this bug being ignored because it only effects serious users; coupled with a strong perception that Ubuntu is only being used to facilitate entertainment (facebook, streaming video, etc.) of non- serious users. I would like to move from an older version of Ubuntu, where archiving works correctly, and take advantage of some of the improvements within Ubuntu 12.10 but I cannot move to a newer version whether 12.10 or 13.04, if archiving remains horribly broken. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to file-roller in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1076716 Title: Extract Here fails to preserve timestamps (non-empty folders) Status in “file-roller” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Use Right-Click Extract Here command to untar a tar.bz2 archive.
