Preserve timestamps

[xaviripo]

Add an option to preserve the timestamps of the original pictures.

I think is a very useful feature. Is it already implemented? I have downloaded several images and the timestamp is the date that I have downloaded.
Thanks in advance

Hi, sorry for the delayed response.

It is implemented (I had to double check because I didn't even remember implementing it), it isn't documented yet.

You can add the --name flag followed by the date format you desire. See the doc comment right above the parseFormatString function for details on how it works.

Nonetheless, Facebook sometimes does not return any timestamp. In that case, the program will warn you and use the date when the picture has been downloaded. This seems to happen with publicly available pictures, as far as I can test. It's hard to tell.
