When and why does MC alter a files "Modified Date" attribute?

1. Save MusicHawke's avatar (a couple of posts up) to a folder on your HD (just an example of image, but it worked for me)
2. Check the 'Date modified' in Windows explorer
3. Wait a minute or two (so you can more clearly see if 'Date modified' has changed)
4. Use the internal 'Explorer' found under 'Drives & Devices' in MC and browse to the folder where you saved the image. Click on the folder so the image is displayed.
5. Go back to Windows Explorer and check 'Date modified'

The above works for me every time, 'Date modified' will be updated

I can reproduce that and am working on a fix.  Thanks for the details.

Nope. You're right. That was the case in The Long, Long Ago, but they changed it at some point in the Somewhat Less Long Ago and all fields have access to that checkbox now.

This is now fixed in build 27:

I'm sorry but it is not fixed... I'm using V32.0.49 64bit and the problem persists.

Field "Image File" is set to "Save in file tags (when possible" OFF.

using "Quick Find in File/Cover Art Directory" always changes modified time stamp on all album files.
I have 2 PC's with JRiver and the behavior is the same.

This is super annoying as I also backup my music based on modified date and each backup copies many GBs of files because of this.
