Title:
  E4defrag fails to restore parent directory timestamp after
  defragmenting a file in that directory

Status in “file-roller” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The effect of this bug is quite similar to the one the was reported
  via bug 1133663 ”Extract Here fails to preserve timestamps for non-
  empty folders”. Directions to reproduce follow:

  1. Create a tar.bz2 archive of a directory containing a fragmented file. One such file might be the 64-bit debian download of google-chrome-stable.
  2. Extract that archive to a temporary location that is not on the same partition.
  3. Consume some time, a few minutes will do.
  4. E4defrag the partition.
  5. Observe that the directory timestamp indicates the time that the file was defragmented. The original timestamp was not restored.

  The --delay-directory-restore flag got the job done for Extract Here.
  Might there be something similar for e4defrag?
