Is there an option to change this behavior? I want to preserve the timestamps when copying.

There is no such option in file managers. When you copy a file, you create a new one, that's why the current timestamp is used.

Here are screenshots that show exactly what I mean.

Unfortunately, there are no options under Settings to change this behavior.

An option like this "Preserve all timestamps (Created, Opened, Modified)" is missing.

Good catch. I didn't know this issue before. Thanks for the report.
So.

Which of the timestamps must be saved from the original (Created, Opened, Modified) ?

According to my analysis, a copy of directories and files is an exact copy, which means the default behavior should be to copy all available timestamps from the original.

Can you support it?

Hello!
For files Windows makes all changes according to the time stamp when copying except for the "Modified" field.
The folder contains only the field "Created," which also changes at the time of copying.
