[Bug 1175947] Re: gvfs-copy --preserve doesn't work with MTP devices

 

Having same problem with a galaxy note 3.  I appreciate ubuntu, but just
want to say that these are the kind of problems that have caused me(and
I'm guessing others as well) to leave Linux and go back to Windows many
times.   This bug is still present and it's been 2.5 years... I would
consider this a basic obvious feature that should be part of any file
copying function.   Guess I need to boot Windows just so I can preserve
the integrity of my files.

  gvfs-copy --preserve doesn't work with MTP devices

  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi,

  When using gvfs-copy --preserve from a MTP device to local, the
  timestamp is not preserved.

  touch "localfile" --reference="MTP file" works ok. 
  I assume --preserve is not working. 

  gvfs 1.16.1-0ubuntu1
  Ubuntu 13.04

  Regards.
