Keep Copy/Download etc date/Time

[Biggles]

When I copy over files from one place to another the original time/date stamp isn't kept. It takes the present time/date .
It's been doing it for years but no has finally bugged me enough to find out where the setting is (I can not find anything to do with this).
Thanks!

I guess that is why I couldn't find in the menu ..........
Can you tell me if there is a file containing the options in the config file?
AND what is "copy block size=x?

Thanks for answering!

In TotalCommader press F1
-> Configuration and Switches
-> Ini file setings
Beware its 3(!) pages of settings but thankfully CTRL+F works in the help.

Code: Select all

CopyBlockSize=
Sets block size for copying (in kbytes=1024 bytes). Default and minimum is 32 (=32768 bytes).

Can you tell me if there is a file containing the options in the config file?

It is called wincmd.ini - you can find it's location via the menu: "Help" (in the upper right corner) -> "About Total Commander" -> "Settings files:"

If you mean if there is a file explaining all the options? then it is in the Help: "4. Configuration and switches" - "INI-File settings: wincmd.ini (1: Configuration A-M, 2: N-Z, 3: the rest), wcx_ftp.ini (for FTP)"

Also check Ultra TC Configuration Editor from Ultra TC Editors.

It contains all configuration options, even disabled ones, with explanations and used default values.

Took a while - blown desktop ...
Thanks for the link to the editor - much appreciated.

Can't seem to edit my post:
Just realized that the options under copy/delete keep time/date were already set.
I just copied over a backup of wincmd.ini from a backup and it has todays date.
Did I miss something?
