Title:
  Nautilus fails to preserve directory timestamp on move

Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Move a directory using mv and its mtime will be preserved. Move a
  directory using Nautilus, and its mtime will be set to the time it was
  moved. This is a bug.

  Nautilus preserves mtime for file and directory copies as well as file
  moves. Moveover, if the user attempts to move a directory that the
  user does not have permission to delete (e.g. it is owned by another
  user), a copy will be created with the correct mtime. This indicates
  that Nautilus is taking an additional step that blats the mtime, but
  only on moves, and only after they have already successfully created
  the destination file.
