Because if images was transfered using CD-ROM, then using ms-dos
formated flash, then edited/scaled, then some of then edited againg,
the ctime/mtime just become useless...

Parsing of EXIF information (if available) would be good alternative, but it
  1. herder to implement (not an 3 minutes task), and
  2. it should be only as an option because editing of the EXIF info
is far more difficult task for regular user than simple renaming of a
file.
