I just tested and the date was preserved!! On Ubuntu 14.04, libmtp version 1.1.6-20-g1b9f164-1ubuntu2
Can you try to copy a file from the device to some local folder and check if the date is preserved? My device is a Sony Xperia Z1 C6903. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1175947 Title: gvfs-copy --preserve doesn't work with MTP devices Status in gvfs package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hi, When using gvfs-copy --preserve from a MTP device to local, the timestamp is not preserved. touch "localfile" --reference="MTP file" works ok.
