--- Comment #4 from Öyvind Saether <oyvinds at everdot.org> ---
stat() can and will show a files creation date on ext4 and xfs file systems.
Further, other file managers such as dolphin and nemo do support showing a
files creation date, see

The "Birth:" field is NOT shown when xfs and ext4 file systems are mounted
using nfs. It is also not supported on any other file system I've tested. 

Thunar should be able to show it if it is available. Competing file manager
products are already showing it when it's available.
