Is it what you'd like to see?

P.S. See also - online doc.

Thanks alot. I guess i have to read the documentation.

Why is the creation-Date useless? Because this date is everytime changed when a file be moved or copied or downloaded from internet copied from mobile device etc.

When MC and most other programs copy a file they will try to keep all the date field. unless you turn it off.
Create date are actually useful. Modify date is when the file was last modified. Not all programs respected this and just rewrite a new file.
But a lot do.  And it is used a lot.

Windows destroy the creation date, and when i copy some voice-memos from my mobile device, the creation date = copy date. Thats the problem. Also any pdf file from emails are saved with the creation date = date of saved the attachment. The filees will be renamed soon, so that the modify-date is like the real creation date.

Sorry No.. Windows is design around them and is a very impotent part in some business systems.
You even got a access filetime. That is updated everything a file is opened. But since Win7 that is off by default unless and the admin activates it. (It does hurt performance a bit)

Yes, if you copy a file to/from a filesystem that does not support it. It can't be kept. Normal user do not have much use of it.  for them LastModified is most important.  and that is the time that is shown by default as filetime.
