*but* strangely it only supports 'modification date' and not 'creation date'.

Not strange at all. Modification date is a HFS thing. No other linux based file systems have a concept of "Creation date".


There are tools you can use to get the creation date. mdls will list the metadata for a file which will show kMDItemContentCreationDate. stat <filename> returns the creation date as column 8.
