Description:   Opened: 2008-04-05 20:51 0000 
All sane file managers (nautils-2.20, konqueror, and even windows explorer)
preserve timestamps when copying files. Nautilus-2.22 doesn't.

This makes nautilus-2.22 almost unusable as a file manager, because when you
are copying files to/from removable media or to other machines on the network,
preserving timestamps is extremely important.

I have also submitted this bug upstream:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=526390

nautilus-2.22.1-preserve-metadata.patch

Patch to preserve timestamps on the nautilus end of things (also submitted
upstream).

Note, however, that this does not fix the problem for many types of network
transfer, because gvfs hasn't implemented any support for preserving metadata
on copy for a number of backends.

commited in 2.22.3-r1
