-CopyDirTimeStamp is ignored for the parent folder

[AndrewCreator]

Total Commander 8.50.

CopyDirTimeStamp is ignored for the parent folder if copying as administrator.

Let A to be a folder where only administrator has access. Let B and C to be subfolders of A. Let D to be subfolder of C.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Run TC as restricted user.
2. Enter A as administrator.
3. Copy B and C.
4. Ensure that target B and C timestamps are not the same as source, but target D timestamp is the same as source.

I will check it, thanks.

Unfortunately I have to deny this request: The function to set folder timestamps isn't currently supported by tcmadmin.exe, and it would be too much work to add it, sorry.

2ghisler(Author), I wonder why subfolders are copied with the correct timestamps.

[ghisler(Author)]

This can happen when the user under which TC is running has the right to access the folder. Currently the function to get/set the folder timestamp isn't impmemented in the tcmadmin tool.

[AndrewCreator]

You're right. Subfolders' timestamps are retained if user has access to destination folder.

Are you sure you will not add get/set folder timestamp to the tcadmin tool? May be this can be moved to a suggestion forum?

Maybe in a later version, but it will need a lot of changes to the main copy function. Since this is more or less the core of TC, I don't want to change it in a minor release - the risks are just too high.
