<UTIL> Change timestamp of whole dir-trees folders to youngest file

[Hacker]

Usher,
That should be requested by the thread starter.

Request after 7 years? You must be kidding. If you feel it's really needed, just ask the original poster on your own, please. Explain that topic titles should be more helpful for newbies rather than misleading.

2Hacker, 2tbeu
Now my second proposition: Split the topic.
Move new messages (2019 year only) concerning SetFolderDate only and create separate topic for this plugin. There is NO such a topic so far in this subforum.

[mod="Hacker"][OT] posts moved to new thread [WCX] SetFolderDate.[/mod]

Many thanks. Could you also change titles in all messages in both topics, please? Currently search results are still misleading.

[Hacker]

Usher,
The messages themselves do not have any titles. Do you want me to add a "Re: <UTIL> Change timestamp of whole dir-trees folders to youngest file" title to all the messages in this thread one by one and similarly a "Re: [WCX] SetFolderDate" to the ones in the other thread?

Title and Subject are synonyms to me. Replies moved from the old forum have no titles, but new forum software add title (Subject) to any message. Any poster (in own messages) and moderator (in the whole topic/thread) can modify the subject, f.e. add keywords if needed for better search. Go to the top of this page, scroll down to the bottom and you will see…

It should be done dependent on a message content. IMHO in this thread you should modify existing subjects in messages on the first page, before my first posting here. It starts discussion about REDATE (which now is off topic here) so newer subjects may stay unchanged.

and similarly a "Re: [WCX] SetFolderDate" to the ones in the other thread?

Yes, for all the messages there.

Thanks in advance.

True, didn't notice that.

What should I write? "Re: <UTIL> Change timestamp of whole dir-trees folders to youngest file"?

Of course, they're on topic. If you have autocomplete option turned on in your browser, it will be fast – see Subject in my message again.

The other topic seems to be OK now, thanks again.

I am using
SetFolderDate plugin 1.2.0.0 for Total Commander

do I guess right that I can't set a list of files to be ignored?

SetFolderDate 1.5 can do this.
There is a section [Ignorelist] in SetFolderDate.ini

Option:
☑ Only evaluate files that are NOT in the Ignorelist (translated from German language)

But I have never tested it myself, because I have not had any need for it until now.

EDIT: At some point, I must have dealt with this...

Code: Select all

[Ignorelist]
1=descript.ion
2=files.bbs
3=thumbs.db
4=desktop.ini
5=folder.ico
6=*.bak

I see it's 32 bit only, I usually run TC x64

Then it is no problem to use SetFolderDate V1.5 (2011-07-20) - 32 bit.
See also: Difference between 32bit and 64bit

At some point, I must have dealt with this... (German)

At that time, however, I sometimes experienced a time problem of 1 hour with SetFolderDate V1.5 and have no longer used it.

You cannot use a 32-bit plugin in a 64-bit TC.
