Timestamps not kept when moving

I just used Amaze to move all my photos from internal storage to the SD card, and learned the hard way that Amaze does not keep timestamps when moving files. Since my default gallery app isn't smart enough to use EXIF data to sort images, this means that one year of photos and videos got shuffled. (Good thing I know Perl; I eventually managed to make a script that sets the timestamp of files based on their name, so at least I fixed the mess I made.)

Apparently when Amaze "moves" files, it just copies them (without preserving timestamps) and then deletes the original, so the solution might be as simple as setting the copy to preserve timestamps, at least when moving files.
