Public bug reported: This seemed to be part of 215499 but Sebastian denies it being a Nautilus problem.
Under 7.10 and Firefox 2, there was a behavior available where an image could be dragged and dropped from a website, not all but some websites, to a folder displayed by Nautilus or the Desktop and the filename and last modified time stamp were preserved in the copy. Since upgrading to Ubuntu 8.04 and Firefox 3 the filename is still preserved but the last modified time stamp is now updated to the current system time. If one uses wget to retrieve the file the last modified time stamp is preserved, which indicates that the remote mtime time stamp is still accessible, but this is a poor backup to what used to be a simple drag and drop operation. As an example http://fc02.deviantart.com/fs9/i/2006/037/6/c/Fancy_Belt_by_baba49.jpg can be dragged from Firefox to a folder and gets the current timestamp where a wget preserves the remote mtime stamp of 06 Feb 2006 07:22;21 PM. You may not believe me but I swear these were preserved in the Ubuntu 7.10 with Firefox 2. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Firefox losing mtime stamp on file copy to folder https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/247980 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
