date reset on picture files after moving from between drives

Post by geoffm »

I moved all my pics to a new hard drive using nemo, and all their dates were reset, confused!?!? This is terrible, I have dozens of GB of picts and was relying completely on their dates to browse through them!! Can I ever reset their dates to the date each file was created?
And why is there no option in nemo to preserve the file dates when moving? And why isn't this the default behavior???

I have copied and moved many files using Nemo, and I have never seen files dates changed.
Did you copy from ext4 to ext4? Or ext4 to NTFS?
