MC alters Windows system file creation date when changing/adding cover art?
RD James:
Even if it's technically being written as a "new file" behind the scenes, the user intent is a modification of the original file, so the original creation date should be preserved if that's possible.
If Media Center is modifying the creation date when changing album art tags, I have no way of looking up when I originally ripped a CD now.

Exactly. The original file date is critical to many of my processes and now this date is lost.

The creation date will be preserved next build. I was expecting to have to do some work, but there was already a parameter on the function we were calling! Done in a minute :)

This is still happening, or it is happening again. I have a use case where I generate track numbers by creation date and where it is critical to have that right. Workflow now requires to do track and disc numbers before modifying or adding album art. Confusing.
Was this ever changed?
