"preserve Attributes" option should *not* be automatically disabled

Description

When copying files from ext{2,3,4) filesystem (or any other Unix filesystem) to FAT32 filesystem "preserve Attributes" option is automatically disabled.

That's wrong for two reasons:

1) Files modification time is lost.
2) MC doesn't let you know that your files have improper permissions. Anyway there's a "quiet" vfat mount option which suppresses any error messages when setting unsupported file attributes.

Please, do NOT disable "preserve Attributes" option under any circumstances.

No. #1619 just about fixing timestamps with unchecked 'preserve attributes' option.

This ticket about always turned on 'preserve attributes' option.

Hey, Slava!

Do you have any updates on when this issue is going to be solved? Debian people using ZFS via FUSE are very pissed off.

Thanks.

If I'm not mistaken MC 4.7.1 will remember all options for all dialogs once they are modified.

Is this going to be backported to the stable branch? We would not be able to update to unstable after freeze.

It is not implemented yet. Some dialogs remember, but most of dialogs don't. Copy/Move? dialog doesn't.

Do you have any ETA anyways? :-) OK, nice that at least it's being worked on.
