You should post your scripts in the Wiki. In the forum they are buried and forgotten after a while. Look here, much space for you.

Or if you need webspace, upload them to totalcmd.net. Just contact Ergo on ICQ, it's no big deal.

Just for your information:
Apparently some AV-Software considers scripts that were compiled with Aut2Exe.exe as dangerous or infected with a backdoor- downloader. This is a false positive. I already have informed several AV-Developers about the issue.
Until now I received an answer of Antivir:

Also, could you make a release 1.3 to apply folder date also to subdirectories. Actually, if you check "scan recursively" the prog checks all files recursively to calculate, say the newest date file, and to apply it to the directory with the highest level. It would be nice if, meanwhile, the subdirectories with less level are applied in the same time.
I hope that it is clear
TIA
BTW, thanks for your nice enhancement to manage descript.ions (elsewhere in this forum)Now I miss only adjust descript.ion's filedate to date of the newest file descripted inside descript.ion

Sorry to refloat such an old post, but this is exactly what I'm looking for. I'm not very fond of installing script programs just to having this functionallity.
Has anyone here still have the van Dusen .exe file?.
Optionally, if someone has come with a way to copy a file timestamp to a folder without using scripts, it would be welcome too.

I wrote the following after a similar discussion with dear Ch. Ghisler, back in 2004... You're welcome to it.

mikedepetris: That's easy:
Just unzip the content of SetFolderDate_1.5.zip to a folder of your choice.
Now you have to edit the SetFolderDate.ini file.
Mainly for the first entry it is mandatory to adapt it to your installation:
You may use an absolute path with drive letter, but I prefer to have it portable.
Optional do the same with "ProgPathExifTool=" if you have it installed.
Now you select the folders or archives to be processed and start SetFolderDate.exe within TC.
You may do that with a button or an entry at the start menue.
