Ubuntu One client does not transparently handle mtime and ctime

[errans]

I don't know if this is the wanted behavior or not, but I lost the last time stamp and files moved to the Ubuntu One folder. mv file dir/file always retains the last mtime, but mv file Ubuntu One/file updates it (I know longer know which of my cryptically named resumes are the newest.) Yes, I should be clearer on naming things, but this still constitutes a loss of useful info on my part. I believe that the U1 client should be able to handle this in a transparent fashion?

Hi errans, I've assigned this to the team working on the syncdaemon to look at this.
