but I can't be the only one to have seen/experienced this so I'm wondering if there is anything I'm missing or something that I can do (at least) to preserve the creation date of the folder when adding new data I presume this is Windows file system based. As soon as any file is added into that folder, it updates modified and creation to the time the file was written to the folder (ie XXtime ). but, as both modified and created dates change to the time the new file is added, it causes issues when finding specific nested folders via creation date.Įxample: Copy folder (done today via Xcopy) shows creation and modified date as per the source of.
