March 8, 201610 yr Is there any way to have the mover keep the original creation date and time for files it is moving, it seems to want to change them to the time it moves them. This is a big issue for me. I just started using a cache disk to record TV to, which helps with smoother simultaneous playback since we are recording up to 4 1040p programs at the same time watching 1, usually on the same drive. This also affects my backups server as well, which I'm using to backup business files, artwork from Illustrator, photos, etc. and computer systems backups.

My understanding is that by default mover invokes rsync with the -t flag so it should preserve modification times.
March 8, 201610 yr Author Definitely doing it here. The files are packages/folders created by EyeTV software. The packages/folders have the creation date & time of the time moved. The files inside them seem correct but the creation date of the package/folder is what's important and should be retained. Any way to fix that? Otherwise the dates of the shows recorded will all be wrong.
