all my photo directories end up to have the current date & time for the "created" column. There are no filters involved. Could you PLEASE make it the default, if we copy folders, that Opus never ever touches the "created" dates, until explicitely having being instructed so. It is not fun, to have opt in to retain that creted data, or to have do something sophisticated. I can't even find another way to have this done right now, wo it looks that i actually have to use Windows Explorer to get this job done right.
I can't understand, with that command above, that Opus just does not use those settings.
Is a copy filter being used or anything like that?
Are you sure the drag & drop action you think is being used is the one that's really being used? e.g. Change it to run "Help ABOUT" and confirm the About window appears when dragging the same folders from the same source to the same destination.
Yes, indeed. Thanks Leo . By the way, it wouldn't have helped to use Explorer. As for the drag & drop, yes, i suppose i can be sure. I parked that whole bunch of special @ifpath clauses in a separate file, to have that restored later. So i have changed the "files & folders" to that very simple command, & thankfully it works now. But i still would strongly suggest, to make Opus keeping the creted dates as the default, rather than to have to "opt in". But i'm glad it works now.
AFAIK it is copied by default, unless Preferences / Miscellaneous / Advanced: no_copy_creation_time is set to True, or Preferences / File Operations / Copy Attributes / Preserve the timestamps of copied files is turned off.
The second option was ok, of course. But actually the other option was set to true, indeed, for whatever reason. Obviously i must have played around with the misc options, & forgotten to set it back properly. I have to shake my head in disbelieve. Thanks again.
