I'm copying .jpg files off a camera and I need to know the date the pictures were taken. Because of other constraints I want to accomplish this preserving the timestamp when I copy the file over. [Nat] Sounds as though you want to capture the last_write_time() of the source file and set the same last_write_time() on the destination file after the copy. http://boost.org/libs/filesystem/doc/operations.htm#last_write_time
