Change the date and time (separately) of the selected files
Hello,
In the Dialog box "Change attributes" I suggest to add possibility to change
the Date only (without change of files times) and the Time only (without change of file dates) of the selected files.
Thanks

Just clear the Time: or Date: edit box to keep this part unchanged.misvin wrote:possibility to change

You can already modify just the date and just the time
by leaving the other field alone without modification.
What do I miss?

You're correct when you think about single files. I guess this can be an issue when multiple files with different timestamps are selected.

And again a feature that's not easy to find, although it's in the help file (just checked).HolgerK wrote:Just clear the Time: or Date: edit box to keep this part unchanged.

I'd expected this behavior; tried it out: success.
BTW it's only mentioned inside the German help:
but not in the English help:Datum Geben Sie hier das gewünschte Datum an, und zwar im angezeigten Format! Mit TAB gelangen Sie ins Zeit-Feld. Wenn nur eine Datei gewählt ist, wird das Datum dieser Datei angezeigt. Sind mehrere Dateien markiert, so wird das zuletzt hier eingegebene Datum angezeigt, oder ein Platzhalter (d.MM.yy). Wenn Sie das Feld leer lassen, wird das Originaldatum der Datei beibehalten.
Zeit Hier können Sie die gewünschte Zeit angeben. Die Sekunden brauchen Sie nicht anzugeben (dann werden sie auf 0 gesetzt). Wenn Sie hier nichts angeben, wird die ursprüngliche Zeit der Datei beibehalten.
Finally we found a bug here.Date You can enter the desired date here. It must be in the format shown by the letters!
Time Here you can enter the desired time. You can leave out the seconds (they will be set to 0)

Thanks to all who replied my post.
If I understand correctly, then:
1. To change the date only of the selected files, I need to leave out the "hh:mm:ss" value in the time field (or clear the time field).
2. To change the time only of the selected files, I need to leave out the "dd.mm.yyyy" value in the date field (or clear the date field).
Please note that after first using of "Change Attribute" Dialog Box the values in date and time fields ("dd.mm.yyyy" and "hh:mm:ss") are replaced by last used date and time.
So I suggest to add additional checkbox near Time field.
