Version: 0.12.5 (using KDE 3.4.0 Level "b" , SUSE 9.3) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.5 20050117 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.11.4-21.9-default k3b does not preserve folder time-stamps (dates). These properties should be kept and handled separately from permissions.
KDE Version 0.12.7 (KDE 3.4.3 Level "b" , SUSE 10.0 UNSUPPORTED) Application CD Burning Application Operating System Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.13-15-default Compiler Target: x86_64-suse-linux Hello: I've tried k3b 0.12.7 - which claims that preserves folder creation times when the backup option is checked - on the above system. In this system the folder dates are not preserved but set to the current time. My wishes: I would like if the time stamps of burned files could be selected - as in windows Nero - like: a) original times, b) current time c) manually set time Also would like if the time stamp preservation option would be separated from the file-permissions option so that one could burn his files with the original times while the permission could be set as with the -r option in mkisofs. Thanks, IG
K3b 0.12.10: still does not preserves folder dates when creating data CD/DVD. Folder dates, similarly to file creation dates are important properties of folders when one organizing his/her data. Why the developers of k3b are reluctant to fix this issue?
it's a mkisofs bug, no chance this can be solved in k3b. sorry. The mkisofs developer is aware of the bug though.
Not a k3b bug, so closing as INVALID
IMHO this bug should neither be marked as RESOLVED nor INVALID. Of course there's not much the k3b developers can do at the moment. But I think the bug should be kept open, and should be dealt with as soon as mkisofs supports the feature.
I marked it as INVALID because it is not a k3b bug. According to http://bugs.kde.org/bug_status.html bugs that are not bugs in kde are marked invalid. I will change the title and make it a wish (as of comment 2) to have such a feature and add that it requires mkisofs to be changed.
If the problem still exists, then it is caused by k3b. Mkisofs did get a major rewrite in late 2006. Directory timestamps are honored except when the directories have been artificially created as a result from a -graft-points option.
