--sync switch is not preserving timestamps

[EthraZa]

I'm using minify --all --sync --recursive ... but it is not preserving files dates and times.
There is an option or is it possible to implement it to act more like a cp -p or -a?

From man cp:

-a, --archive
              same as -dR --preserve=all
-p     same as --preserve=mode,ownership,timestamps
-d     same as --no-dereference --preserve=links
-R, -r, --recursive
              copy directories recursively

Or if minify --sync could just be like cp --preserve=all, at least for the files that where not minified, would be great.

Thanks for the suggestion! This seems like a great idea, I will try and implement this as soon as I get some time on my hands!

Please check this implementation (remark: setting file ownership only works on Linux)

You can now pass -p or --preserve to keep mode,ownership,timestamps, or set it manually using e.g. --preserve=mode,timestamps, exactly like cp!

-p seems working like a chram.

Thank you.
