File Modification/Creation Times

Hi,

 

I've just one-way synced my picture files with a backup linux computer at home and an android tablet. The source is my laptop, others are read-only. On both destinations, I noticed that the file modification times are reset to the date and time of the sync, rather than keeping the original file dates. This is a problem since I can't understand anymore which files are old and which are new.

 

I heard somewhere that Android does not let apps change the modification times of the files created unless you're root, but I thought it should be possible in Linux. 

 

How shall this behave?
