Is there a setting somewhere to make konqueror preserve file dates when copying/moving files from pane to pane? I do not see any such thing in konqueror's settings.
My Big Need is in copying/moving files off my camera's SD card...
Thanks, Jonesy

I might miss something, but konqueror preserves file modification time/date by default - that is the timestamp you see when doing "ls -l". Creation time is lost for sure (it's the inode creation time and that is the timestamp of the copy operation).
e.g.: I copied the file "awk1line.txt" to /tmp with konqueror: $ stat /tmp/awk1line.txt File: /tmp/awk1line.txt Size: 11274 Blocks: 24 IO Block: 4096 regular file Device: 17h/23d Inode: 133338 Links: 1 Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 1000/ nik) Gid: ( 1000/ nik) Access: 2018-08-17 22:19:38.599589609 +0200 Modify: 2008-05-01 01:10:32.000000000 +0200 Change: 2018-08-17 22:19:36.835580862 +0200 Birth: - $ ls -l /tmp/awk1line.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 nik nik 11274 May 1 2008 /tmp/awk1line.txt

hmmmm... In my case I believe it is/was a move-from-FAT32-to-ext4 "issue". Would anyone else agree/care to comment?

Just tried vfat (fat32) out of curiosity and it behaves the same
stat /tmp/PDB\ 2008-20180328T091753Z-001.zip ... Modify: 2018-03-28 13:20:46.000000000 +0200 ... ls -al /tmp/PDB\ 2008-20180328T091753Z-001.zip ... ...Mar 28 13:20 /tmp/PDB 2008-20180328T091753Z-001.zip

Well, I just moved 49 images off the camera (v-a-v a USB Mass Storage device) with konqueror to a local ext4 directory. Hovering on the file icons of the camera files showed the proper late July and early August dates.
However, all the dates on the ext4 files show, e.g. File: 'DSCN3390.JPG' Size: 1186529 Blocks: 2320 IO Block: 4096 regular file Device: 806h/2054d Inode: 3147374 Links: 1 Access: (0444/-r--r--r--) Uid: ( 1000/ jonesy) Gid: ( 1000/ jonesy) Access: 2018-08-17 13:37:47.817750530 -0600 Modify: 2018-08-17 13:37:47.289803312 -0600 Change: 2018-08-17 13:37:47.289803312 -0600 Birth: -

I haven't found a way to do that with konqueror but you can do that easily on the command line with
cp -a <source> <target>
or a cli file manager like mc.
