XnView Software

Is it possible with XnView MP to preserve the image file create date when copying files? (I realize that the date taken is included in image metadata)

I tried the Keep original date/time option under Tools / Settings/ General / File Operations, but that doesn't seem to apply to copying files (based on a trial with a few files)

Am I missing a way to do this? If not, please consider adding an option or another way to accomplish this when copying.

Thanks.

how do you copy your files? drag&drop?

Thanks for the reply, sorry for the delay. Unfortunately notification e-mails are not arriving (yes I check the spam folder), so I just saw your message.

Yes, usually drag and drop as I recall.

1) Does the date behave depend on which method is used? If so, can you pls explain or point me to an explanation?

2) Is there a way to dopy files using XnView that does retain the original dates?
