I’m assuming you cannot change the ‘creation date’? So I could end up with a file with a creation date with today’s date (the date/time the mv command was triggered), but a modification date of some time in the past if I figured out what the mod. date was and touched the file to restore it?
There isn’t a simpler way to preserve the dates?
Perhaps you can change the creation date. A year ago, I said ...
I don't yet have Leopard, but in Tiger, changing the mod date to a date previous to the creation date will change the creation date = mod date.
I now have Leopard, but haven't tested this. It might be worth a try.
