Comment 39 for bug 157396

Can anyone please advise what else to do besides installing libglib2.0-0 (2.16.3-1ubuntu3), to make the fix work.

(I installed the new package and nautilus copy still alters the date).

I'd also like to add my comment as to the importance of the above fix:

Like most commenters above, I agree (redoubled in spades!!!) that any file management system that claims to copy a file without copying arguably the most important piece if information associated with it (the modification date), has rocks in its head (if the "standards" say it should, then the standards are inconsistent with usability).

If people want to record the copy date, then attach a new date - but the term "modification date" and "date changed" etc are associated with the logical change to the content, not to the physical placement. (inot just by long usage with wi*&%ws, but by the common meaning of the terms).

eg, if I move a book from the dining room to the loungeroom, do I expect the date published to alter???? if I claim to have modified a report, I do not mean just run it through the photocopier. If you say you have changed your statement, I take you to mean the content has altered, not that you have moved it to another bookcase (hard copy) or disk drive (soft copy), etc, etc, ad nauseam.
