1. Can copy_file function creates preserve timestamp?

I am trying copy_file function using following simple command:

copy_file("srcfile", "dstfile")

It copies but puts new date and time stamp to the newly created file.

How can I make this function preserve the date and time stamp of original file to the new copy? I could not find any option in this function or any other method in the manual. Thanks for your help.

No, the time stamp is put there by the OS.

If you are using Linux, you can use touch -r <old> <new>

Found on net for Windows, using PowerShell (not tested)

PS C:\mytest> (Get-Item "C:\mytest\myfolder1").CreationTime=("08 March 2016 18:00:00")
