new files created with the wrong timestamp for template

[Autiwa]

Binary package hint: nautilus

I wanted to compare date of files for a script, and I test someting.

I created a new folder, whose date is correct. Inside this folder, I created a new text file, and the date of this file is 28 june 2008. In fact, today is june 27 2009 !!

Very annoying when dates are importants.

In fact, the wrong date is the date of the model I use for file.

I think the right behaviour would be to use the today $date when I create a new file.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please answer these questions:

 * Is this reproducible?
 * If so, what specific steps should we take to recreate this bug?

 This will help us to find and resolve the problem.

Yes, the bug is reproductible. Steps are detailed in my first post. You just have to create a file using a template (or model, don't know the exact word in english).

And the date will be the date of the template model, and do not represent the time at wich you have created your new file.

The issue is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME)

Thanks for the report, with which template do you get that? which version of ubuntu are you running? I cannot reproduce that here with Karmic.

[Autiwa (autiwa)]

It happens with every template I create. I'm on Jaunty, the current Ubuntu version.

Cool if it's solve in Karmic.
