Resolved by version 1.3.0.0.

Also resolved by the latest version.

wcx_setfolderdate_1.3.0.0.rar


Installation:
- download the stated archive with the plugin installation files
- use TC to locate the just downloaded plugin archive
- double click on the archive file and follow the dialogs
- note the name to give on the top right at "All files with extension (ending with):" to identify that plugin later on (here: dirdate or setfolderdate)
You can take a look into wincmd.ini (menu Configuration > Change Settings Files Directly)
and there at the [PackerPlugins]-section to lookup the given name to identify one already installed plugin.


Usage:
- this is a Packer plugin (.wcx file), use it by utilizing "Files > Pack..." (Alt+F5)
- for this plugin: select the wanted folder and open the packer dialog
- in Packer-dialog use the drop down menu to chose the packer plugin by its given name from above (here: dirdate or setfolderdate)
- some plugins also have the possibility to use the [Configuration]-button
- if all is set up, click the [OK] button in the packer dialog to let the plugin do its work

I would like to have a feature "don't change date older then / younger then". Could it be added?

Whats the need for this ?
You can select the required time period in TC and only the results are processed by the plugin.

The idea behind is:
- I have a server-structure which was completely copied on Sept. 12.. All folders got the date Sep-12
- In the meanwhile some folders where modified and got a newer date.
- A few were modified by deleting files, so e.g. got the date "2021-11-10". This date is the last file deletion, but not the youngest file.
- When I use Setfolderdate, these folders will get the date of the youngest file (e.g. 2019) and not of the latest modification.
- I know that this question "youngest file versus youngest modification" is valid for all folders. But for the user is is not that important for folders some years old; but it could be confusing for folders modified in the last few weeks. Example: " I know that I deleted some files from folder "test" 10 days ago, and now the have the date from 2019. Why?"
- A function like "set date only to folders which are older than Sep-12 or which have the date Sep-12" would help to avoid it.

No life-saving, but helpful.

Have a fine Sunday!

How to do in detail?
I searched fol all directories - displayed them in the result list - seleceted two dirs - started "setfolderdate" - got error "Failed to set last write time"
