Description mi 2009-11-16 17:38:20 UTC 
Version:           2.0.0 "Mars Pathfinder" (using 4.2.2 (KDE 4.2.2), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.28-16-generic

When copying files in krusader, file time stamps (at least mtime) are preserved.

However, when using Synchronize Directories, the mtime of all copied files becomes the time of the copy. This makes synch dirs quite unusable. It means that at the next synch, it will want to copy back all these files since they are newer. And basically it destroys the mtime time stamps in a whole directory tree.

In fact, this may not be a problem related to synchronize directories, but rather to remote file systems. Copying files to an smb share seems to show the same problem: file time stamps are not preserved.
