Option to preserve file creation date when copying

Post by *dmtoddma »

I sometimes need to preserve the file creation date when copying files (in the case of image files from scans, where the file creation date represents the date of the scan). I'd like to see an "Advanced Option" added to the file copy dialog to preserve the file creation date and time. It would also be nice to have this as an option for "Synchronize Directories", but the copy dialog would be the highest priority.

Thank you.

Why don't you use last write date/time for such case? It is better to use it instead of creation time.

I'm using TeraCopy 2.3 Beta integrated into TC for Copy and Move.
TeraCopy preserves all dates.
