Copying files with Nautilus, Files lose original time stamp

[philinux]

Binary package hint: libnautilus-extension-dev

I was copying files from old pc using usb stick but Nautlius gave the date modified as the same date as the access date.
I gave up with nautilus to copy files from my old pc to new as the timestamp of my pics were all lost.

I had to use this instead.

cp -R --preserve=timestamp folder1 folder2

When I transfer files from my photo card (sd), Nautilus changes the date of the photo (the moment of creation) to the date of transferring the photo to the pc. In exif viewers the original date is still shown, but not in Nautilus
