It keeps the timestamp for me. Just tried to make sure.
Thank you, Carlos! You've given me the hint which has solved my problem.
When copying a directory from one computer to another I have been deselecting the "preserve Attributes" because I am copying files from one user's Home directory to be copied into another users Home directory on the other computer (I am a (different) user on 2 different computers- if you follow what I mean).
Yes.
Deselecting the attributes is what is causing the timestamp to be altered on the copied files. Now that I have left this "preserve Attributes" ticked all files have retained their original timestamps.
But maybe now the ownership is wrong.
Again thanks for the "push" in the right direction <g>.
Welcome :-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
