 I recently upgraded from Ubuntu 15.04 to Ubuntu 15.10 beta 2.

After doing a package upgrade on 30 September 2015 I noticed that the gvfs package updated.

I have now tested transferring files via USB from my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 phone to my Ubuntu 15.10 desktop and I am pleased to report that the timestamp is correctly preserved.

I should add that it has been a very frustrating long wait (over two years), for this critical bug to be fixed. Such a long delay is potentially damaging to Ubuntu as bugs of this nature should receive top priority. Mobile phones and tablets are now a way of life and it is simply unacceptable to lose the date information on a file that is transferred from a phone to a PC - it is a form of "data corruption".

I am grateful to the software developers who fixed the bug in time for the release of Ubuntu 15.10.
