Copyng a file to a NTFS drive change the date and the time of the file

[Carmelo Viavattene]

Ubuntu 7.10
I'am a hard disk with NTFS partition.
I use Nautilus to copy files or directory, and the problem appear.

If I copy a file to the NTFS partition, the date and the time of the copyed file is changed to the time of the end of copy.
The same problem in a USB hard disk NTFS.

This not appear if I copy a file in my home ubuntu (ext3) or in my key USB (fat32).

If I move the file in the NTFS partition, the date/time is not changed.

This is bug is very annoyng:
I'am some OpenOffice files created in Windows, and I want save my files in my external hard disk. I MUST know when my file is created.

Please correct.

I have submitted this bug to ntfs-3g, and the reply is:

When you /bin/cp a file then it gets new timestamps by default whatever is the file system. Nautilus maybe redefines this behaviour but not consistently.

Then, I send my request to nautilus project.

Yes, is a duplicate of 157396 (reported to ntfs-3g).
Sorry, the 2007-10-27 i think to report the bug to another project (nautilus), an I rewrite the bug.
Then i found the 157396 bug is ported from ntfs-3g to nautilus.

And then, You can delete this report of bug (is the same of 157396).
The only change in the comment is from:
"I MUST know when my file is writed." (in 157396) must be "I MUST know when my file is created."
Then I change my comment in 157396, and You can close this report
