date taken for photo copied, actually modified date on any documents copied
in explorer tends to changed to the Now (date and time of copying).
especially annoying for folders


anyway to change this default behaviour?

Use the value in the metadata (tags)?

anyway to change the default to keep dates and attributes as original for
copying in explorer instead of using batch scripts?

All I can think of is to use robocopy.exe in a command window. It has
options to do what you want. It's also complicated, so you need to run
robocopy /?
to see a long list of options - or maybe there's a help page on Microsoft's
site.

only the option /mir works and is downright dangerous
must copy to a new subdirectory or the destination gets wiped!
Even then the new directory always has the new date time! stupid

on the other hand, somehow xcopy should have worked but complains about
access problem. I do have full access to both destination and source

in this aspect Xp was better, sign!

It worked fine for me in recent months, and in one case, it even copied
only the new files to the destination directory. Since I find the options a
bit overwhelming and hard to remember, I felt it was safer to leave you on
your own for that.
