Description Peter Tselios 2024-10-30 11:15:20 UTC 
I don't know if this should be classified as a bug or an RFE. I kindly ask the developers to decide on this topic. 

SUMMARY
When I send files from my phone/table to my Desktop, I noticed that the modification time for the file on Linux desktop is always modified to the "current" timestamp. 
In my opinion this is wrong because it modified the metadata of the original file. I strongly believe that the file should maintain the original timestamps. However, I also understand the logic against this. Thus, I would really appreciate if there is an option to configure this, thus, users could use this as a true backup method for media files (for example). 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open KDE Connect on your phone and pair it with a Linux PC
2. Select Send files
3. Send any file to your desktop

OBSERVED RESULT
Timestamp of the received file is always "now()"

EXPECTED RESULT
Timestamp of the original file should be maintained.
