Date created changes when I move a jpg file in File Explorer for W10

Frank15 · 12 Oct 2019

I noticed something disconcerting: sometimes, when I move a jpg file to another folder, the date created timestamp is changed to the time I do this. Sometimes it doesn't (the timestamps don't change). The day I did the move was 12/10/2019.

See my video showing this (last move), minute 00:30, sorry the resolution isn't great.

The only way around this I know of is to use a program like Robocopy which has a parameter to preserve dates.
On a folder/directory level, something like this: robocopy source target /MIR /DCOPY:T

If its moved then its newley created on the target hence new time stamp try copying that should retain the date

That's not so: copying updates both date created and date accessed. Moving either doesn't change any of the timestamps (or randomly changes "date created" in this case).
