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). 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.
Again thanks for the "push" in the right direction <g>.
Cheers.
