I recently upgraded from Ubuntu 15.04 to Ubuntu 15.10 beta 2. After doing a package upgrade on 30 September 2015 I noticed that the gvfs package updated.
I have now tested transferring files via USB from my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 phone to my Ubuntu 15.10 desktop and I am pleased to report that the timestamp is correctly preserved. I should add that it has been a very frustrating long wait (over two years), for this critical bug to be fixed. Such a long delay is potentially damaging to Ubuntu as bugs of this nature should receive top priority. Mobile phones and tablets are now a way of life and it is simply unacceptable to lose the date information on a file that is transferred from a phone to a PC - it is a form of "data corruption". I am grateful to the software developers who fixed the bug in time for the release of Ubuntu 15.10. -- 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: Fix Released Status in gvfs package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gvfs source package in Vivid: New Bug description: * Impact When using gvfs-copy --preserve from a MTP device to local, the timestamp is not preserved. touch "localfile" --reference="MTP file" works ok.
