[giulia]

Hi
i did a mistake
i delete many folders created months ago to the recycle bin

i restored all the folders , but now the date of these folder is today
inside these folders there are files , they keep the original date

for example folder "my movie" <DIR> 04/12/2015 17:07
inside a video myholiday.mp4 28/07/2015 08:01

may i ask a question?
1) how can i change the folder date using the date of the files inside ?

FolderTimeUpdate from Nirsoft works perfect.

Web site: http://www.nirsoft.net

Description from the readme:

FolderTimeUpdate is a simple tool for Windows that scans all files and
folders under the base folder you choose, and updates the 'Modified Time'
of every folder according the latest modified time of the files stored in it.
This tool might be useful if, for example, you backup a cluster of
folders and then restore them into another disk, but the backup program
doesn't restore the original modified time of the folders.

You can use "Change attributes" for that:
Check "Change plugin attributes".
Plugin "TC", Property "writedate", Value "[=tc.creationdate]".

ZoSTeR,
Is your post valid for this thread or did you intend to post in is there a way to change the createdate using the modified ? If that's the case, I can move the post.
