I not want the start time of the copy. I not want the end time of the copy. I want the same time of the file origin of the copy: An example: if I'am a file of 2005-10-24 8.34.56, and I copy this file to a NTFS drive, the copyed file MUST have the same time of 2005-10-24 8.34.56. So, if I see in the drive origin and in the drive destination, i want the same file, with the same name, length, and ... SAME TIME.
You can try this: create a new file, in your Home (ext3 drive); if you copy this file in the same directory, or in Examples directory, you have the original time (and this is correct). If You copy in a NTFS drive, the time change at the time of the end of the copy (wrong). Expected: the time is the same of the original file. The "creation" time is not the concept of NTFS: simply, I'am interested at the time i see in a standard view of Nautilus (after the installation of Ubuntu 7.10). Try to extract some or all the files of a compressed file (.zip, .tar, ...): in the compressed file You see the date and the time of the file, and if You extract in a NTFS drive, at this moment You see the date of the copy. Expected is the original date (and time), and this is OK if you extract in a ext3 drive (example your Home).
