Limitations

Some WebDAV servers don't allow Beyond Compare to preserve modified timestamps when copying files.  For those servers, copied files are timestamped with the time of the copy.  To workaround the issue, copy the timestamp from the WebDAV file back to the local file using the Actions | Touch command.
