Hi,

The date you want to preserve in this case is the date set by your
camera and I suppose it corresponds to the date of the shoot. This date
is also present in a Exif tag in the picture and is written in the desc
XML file by BINS, so the information is not lost.

Anyway, this should not be difficult to preserve the timestamp with
the -p option (-a is a GNU cp specific option).

I note that to the TODO.
