Preserve directory timestamp during copy

[sean-gugler]

(CiderPress II 1.0.2)

Timestamps are already preserved on files. This is true when using copy+paste on individual files or on a directory; the files nested within retain their original stamps.

Copying a directory should also preserve the timestamps of the directory itself. Currently the copies get a fresh timestamp from the host's wall clock.

This is important from an archival / historian perspective. When gathering collections onto a 32MB hard disk image from multiple sources, it's better if they retain all their original attributes.

Confirmed, this works in 1.0.4. Thank you!

Next request is to also preserve directory timestamps during export. Would you rather track that request here or as a separate issue#? (low priority, "stretch goal")

I can reopen this one. Preserving during export is a little harder because it requires a "finalization" pass after everything else is done.
