Sorry, Steve, don't know how this got here. I marked it invalid for you. ** Description changed:
- Under 7.10 and Firefox 2, there was a behavior available where an image - could be dragged and dropped from a website, not all but some websites, - to a folder displayed by Nautilus or the Desktop and the filename and - last modified time stamp were preserved in the copy. Since upgrading to - Ubuntu 8.04 and Firefox 3 the filename is still preserved but the last - modified time stamp is now updated to the current system time. + Under 7.10 and Firefox 2, there was a behavior available where an image could be dragged and dropped from a website, not all but some websites, to a folder displayed by Nautilus or the Desktop and the filename and last modified time stamp were preserved in the copy. Since upgrading to Ubuntu 8.04 and Firefox 3 the filename is still preserved but the last modified time stamp is now updated to the current system time. If one uses wget to retrieve the file the last modified time stamp is preserved, which indicates that the remote mtime time stamp is still accessible, but this is a poor backup to what used to be a simple drag and drop operation. As an example http://fc02.deviantart.com/fs9/i/2006/037/6/c/Fancy_Belt_by_baba49.jpg can be dragged from Firefox to a folder and gets the current system time as the last modified time stamp where a wget preserves the remote mtime stamp of 06 Feb 2006 07:22;21 PM. You may not believe me but I swear these were preserved in the Ubuntu 7.10 with Firefox 2. Addition: As a result of other discussions, I installed Ubuntu 7.10 on a spare machine and confirmed that the last modified time stamps were being preserved in this drag and drop operation. I also installed the Ubuntu 7.10 available Firefox 3.0 alpha and find the last modified time stamps are still preserved. I haven't found a Nautilus 2.22.3 backported to 7.10 to continue the test to see if the timestamps are lost when Nautilus 2.22.3 is introduced into the situation. I might have to go back to the Nautilus website and get the tar.gz and try to install it but that will be when I have some more time to devote to this. + + Further addition: I have also installed FIrefox 2 on my Ubuntu 8.10 + machine so I can be certain that under Ubuntu 7.10 with Nautilus 2.20.0 + mtime stamps are preserved when copying a file from Firefox 2 or 3 to a + Nautilus folder and that these same mtime stamps are lost when using + Firefox 2 or 3 to copy a file to a Nautilus folder in Nautilus 2.22.3 + under Ubuntu 8.04. ** Changed in: glib2.0 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- Firefox/Nautilus losing mtime stamp on file copy to folder https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/247980 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
