Re: Maintaining date modified timestamp when copying files

The best might be to include the creation or last modification time stamp into the name of the files before you proceed to modify the files, so that you don't rely on something that is prone to changes.

Otherwise, using bash under Windows (for example Git Bash, or Cygwin) enables you use the touch Unix command in order to modify the last modification time to whatever value you wish.

Thank you! Funnily enough, I have recently installed the bash shell for Windows 10 because I heard that it is good for file management/modification etc., so this will give me a chance to have a play around with it. Thanks!	[reply]
