Bug ID: 511627
Summary: Some file dates are not set when copying many files
from MTP
Classification: Applications
Product: dolphin
Version First 25.08.1
Reported In:
Platform: Kubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]

Target Milestone: ---
When copying larges numbers of files from MTP (e.g. an Android phone, for me
this is typically hundreds of photos) some file modification times are randomly
not set to their original values. As files are being copied their mtimes in the
destination folder are initially set to the current time, but then adjusted
afterwards to their original values. However, this adjustment does not happen
for some fraction of them (maybe 5%), and the modification times of those then
remain as "just now" in dolphin (or maybe e.g. "3 minutes ago" if the copy
operation took a long time.)
The workaround is to sort the copied files by time, delete all those that got
the wrong file date, and repeat the copyinguntil all files were copied
correctly.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Plug in an Android device with hundreds of photos.
2. Navigate to its photo folder in Dolphin (mtp:/ location)
3. Open a local folder in another dolphin tab.
4. Select and copy a large number of files from the phone in the first tab.
5. Paste them into the other tab.
OBSERVED RESULT
A fraction of the copied files get mtime = the time of the copy operation.
EXPECTED RESULT
All copied files get their original dates.
