Save edited picture AND preserve original (last modified) timestamp?

[pstein]

Assume I load and modify a *.jpg picture into PSP X2.

When I save it now (after edit) the last modified date timestamp is adjusted to the current time.

is there a way to tell PSP to keep the original last modified timestamp?

It seems to be a Windows feature:

Yes, if the write operation is ONLY handled by Windows the last modification timestamp is reset by Windows.

But there are many tools available which "correct" this windows adjustments by re-adjustments.
They remember the original timestamp and set it back in a second step after write operation finished.

The file timestamp can be even set manually by such tools like Change Attribute

But there are many other tools which provide a corresponding option to preserve the timestamp after editing an object.

So again: Does PSP X2 offer such a feature?

I don't found such an option when saving with PSP (tested with 2021). As far as I remember (since version 7 Jasc), that feature was never embedded.
