Keep Folder Timestamp
Keep Folder Timestamp
When syncing Folders, the Timestamp of the newly generated Folder ist not
the same...
(its the syncing time not the source folder date)
(File date is okay)

Is folder timestamp still not preserved?
Hi there!
I am also interested in above feature, e.g. to preserve photo folder creation dates.
Has it been implemented?

I asked for this in Apr 2006
and was told "Thank you, I will consider adding it to new version"
There hasn't been a new version since Sept 2006 and it wasn't in there.
When I want to "Copy folder timestamp" I have to use CopySynch Desktop, free version, from http://www.jpgriffiths.com/ but it is a bit slow.
I really wish Igor would move it to the top of his todo list as it is very impotant to me. The whole point of a backup is that if it is needed when a file tree is reinstated it should be the same it was with all the original folder dates.

But I wander if top-level folder should keep same date? Now this folder (that is one choosed as Target, for example) keeps current date.

If top level folder exists in the source then, when copied to the target, it should retain the source folder's timestamp as there is no logical reason for making it an exeption.
If one wants to remember when the whole backup was created then it could be put in a new destination holding folder for that purpose.
Hope I understood what you meant and this makes sense to you.

It looks like this thread is left hanging so I've added this post to clarify the situation... it continued in the development blog to a conclusion (at http://grigsoft.com/blog/?p=57).
Many thanks to Igor for completing Folder Timestamp copying, something I have wanted for a very long time.
