Movie folder timestamp is updated to the current date when a movie is scraped

[doublehelix]

Describe the bug
When scraping movies, the folder for the movie is updated to the current timestamp.
This causes media libraries/apps to recognize my entire library as "Recently Added".
Ordinarily, when i add a new movie to my collection, recently added includes only those which are actually recently added, not just recently scraped.

I made the mistake of scraping my entire library.... now I have no history of what's new and what's old.

At the least, there should be an option to DISABLE the timestamp being changed if the user wishes to maintain the existing historical timestamps. (For comparison, EmberMediaManager does not change timestamps when scraping)

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Scrape any movie

Expected behavior

• .nfo files may be updated
• Images may be downloaded
• The timestamp of the parent folder should NOT change.

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

MediaElch Version:

• 2.10.7-dev (nightly)
• 2.10.6 (stable)

Operating System:

• Windows
• macOS
• Linux (distribution: .)

Additional context
Storage device is a QNAP NAS.
As a comparison, Ember Media manager does not alter folder timestamps when scraping.

Hi,

thank you for bringing this up. It was never something that occurred to me as an issue.

Just a few notes:

1. the movie's timestamp shouldn't be changed, correct (i.e. the mp4, mov, ... file)
2. the containing folder's timestamp is updated
3. the NFO file's timestamp is updated (or the file is created for the first time)

And you'd like (2) to not happen: Even if a file inside was changed, the modification date should stay the same. Did I get that correctly? 😄

I never thought about this. I didn't even know that was an option. (note to self: see e.g. https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qfiledevice.html#setFileTime ).

Regards,
Andre
