Change attributes, show date/time of directories

[Galizza]

 
Hi, if i change the date/time of a file Change attributes window shows the date/time of this file, but if i do the same with a directory date/time appears as  dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss.

I think it would be better if date/time is shown also for directories, thanks.

Hi, there's a difference in behavior when running the `change attributes` command depending on whether the focus is on a file or a directory.

If the focus is on a file, the `change attributes` window displays the file's date and time. However, if the focus is on a directory, it displays dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss (Spanish time format), which is impractical if you want to modify the date of a directory based on the previous date.

Is there a way or a setting in Wincmd.ini that allows me to access the date of a directory in the `change attributes` window in the same way as if it were a file?

Thanx

Is there a way or a setting in Wincmd.ini that allows me to access the date of a directory in the `change attributes` window in the same way as if it were a file?

See the post by user Gral.

What a mistake!    In my defense, I must say that I have Tc configured so extremely (em_commands, Ahk Scripts) that sooner or later I was bound to forget about some em_command I had created previously. The truth is that I applied it to the .mnu file but not to the keyboard shortcut that launches it, which was still launching cm_SetAttrib. Thanks
