I can keep the original creation date if I keep the same image format and overwrite the original files (ie. use the original folder) Otherwise BIMP is creating new files and you get the current date.

If you want to add something to BIMP you should post here https://github.com/alessandrofrancesconi...imp/issues

...and keep the timestamp.  I do not think that is possible with BIMP, but I might be wrong. Ask on the BIMP issues forum as mentioned earlier.

If it is a simple procedure it might be possible using ImageMagick. As an example, resize a folder full of png's and write as jpgs keeping the timestamp.

Code:

mogrify -verbose -resize 200x200 -define preserve-timestamp=true -format jpg -quality 90%  *.png

All depends on what you need.

In the command line you can also copy the time stand of a file to another

touch -r /path/to/originalfile /path/to/newfile
