Feature detail

Currently, immich shows files without exif with the timestamp of the import.
While this might make sense to some degree when you add a single image, it messes up your the image UI when importing an existing library.
I have about 1k images without an exif tag. Other open source programs handle it in a way that they move the images without exif information to the very bottom of the timeline. In immich this could be done with an "Unknown" date category.

Here is a light drawing from my kids that my wife sent me through signal which has its exif info stripped. All these appear at the date where they were imported.
