Multiple File Timestamp Changer

Post by *JaGGeR »

good day to you all.. just registered to the forums but am not that new to TC.. been using it for a year or so.. i never regretted trying it out and suggesting it to the company i'm working in.. and it's quite a help to us.. now, we're thinking of buying additional licenses.. :)

i have looked around the forum and the plug-ins page but it seems i could not find anything regarding a file timestamp changer for multiple files.. just like what multifile rename tool does.. is there such a feature request or plug-in already?

what i'm looking for is the ability to change the filestamp according to the following:

Code: Select all

    Type
               [ ] creation date
               [ ] last modified date
               [ ] last accessed date

   Reference Datetime
               [ ] current date/time  (system date/time)
               [ ] original date/time  
               [ ] userdefined
                     [ ] date [    yyyy/mm/dd   ]
                     [ ] time [    hh:mm:ss       ] 

    Time Increment/Decrement
      [ ] Increment    [ hh ] [ mm ] [ ss ]    (0-23)(0-59)(0-59)
      [ ] Decrement   [ hh ] [ mm ] [ ss ]    (0-23)(0-59)(0-59)

usually only the modified datetime part is important.. this is essential if there is a difference in the time setting of the regions in which the files are used and modified.. in my case, there is a one-hour difference in the locales in which the files are used.. i noticed that there is the recurring problem of different timestamps.. what i would like to do is to be able to select the files.. then change their timestamps - incrementing each by one hour.. then i would be able to use the "mark newer, hide same files" feature of TC effectively..

* i apologize if my post is rather long..

This is probably what you are looking for: http://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=116 (official site: http://thehacker.host.sk/redate/)

Or that: http://thehacker.host.sk/addtime/ (from the same author)

The AddTime Addon is what I was looking for. Thanks for the info. :D

Btw, is there any possibility that this be made native into TC?

Not with ReDate, but with AddTime.

And thanks Panos. :)

Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.

I've been asked about this already several times, but in my opinion these tools are for different tasks and therefore should remain separate. I see no gain in combining them and the interface would become cluttered, too.

Prove me wrong.
