Folder date is different, but still marked as identical

[klorinczi]

Using WinMerge x64 v2.16.4.

Folder date is different, but still marked as identical.

This should be fixed.

Further bug, that when a folder is copied with Winmerge, the folder timestamp is not the same on target. Should be the same

Mhhh, if the content is equal, why should only the date from a folder mark it as different?

And when you copy a folder with the Windows Explorer, the copied folder has also a different timestamp. So it is by design.

I don't agree.

If I make a backup of a directory, it MUST be absolutely identical. Including the file and directory dates.

Making a copy of a directory with Total Commander or TeraCopy will copy the file and directory timestamps, too.

Unfortunately, WinMerge does not, however I would use it to make folder compare and backup contents of my directory.

WinMerge should at least have an option to copy/compare folder timestamps, too.
