Option to preserve date and time attribute when copying (for root users)

I do not quite like the system's default behaviour of resetting the time attribute (to now) when copying files or moving outside of a partition. Obviously not Amaze file manager's fault.

For photos and videos, it is less of a problem due to the metadata and file names, but many files do not include time information in the meta data or file name.

On desktop Linux, there is a cp -p command for that purpose, though that only works with root access or if those permissions are set accordingly.

With root access, Amaze file manager could have the option to preserve the time attribute.

I think Android terminal (jackpal/termux, of which the first one appears to sadly have become abandonware) can do that too, but it would be convenient to have such an option on a graphical application.

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the copy and cross-partition move handling in the Android file manager, then inspect how root access is used. Done means a root-enabled option preserves file date and time attributes during those operations without changing the default behavior.
