Total Commander

When changing attributes, I often have to recurse subdirectories.
But often I want to limit my change to a specific filetype only, e.g. change timestamp only on directories. Right now the process of diving into each sub-subdir manually and changing timestamps of directories takes ages, since I want to avoid any changes to files inside them.

You can use branch view (Ctrl+B) for just specific files, or search - feed to listbox for folders or more detailed searching. This must be done BEFORE opening the attributes dialog.
