Maybe new theme - file attribute copy

[dvorakus]

Hello to all,

I was looking for a function for copying only file attributes from one list of files to second identical, but I didn't find it. It would be useful for work with digital images when in the first list are photos directly from camera and in the second are these photos edited. So the reason is to store the original date/time.

And the second theme is collective deleting of a file (by filename or fileextension) which is occured in many subfolders of a base folder.

If anybody knows how to solve these my demands, please write. And if not, it would be nice to find these functions in the next TC version

Many thanks
Dvorakus

Utility is called TOUCH.EXE. You can easily write a batch file, for ex., passing %T %N parameters from TC.
It really works. Enjoy!

You can try TimeCopy, first parameter must be source file, second parameter target file. Works only on one pair of files at a time.

Branch view (Ctrl-B) could be of help.

You may try to write WSH script by using Script Helper ActiveX (use its method SetFileDateAtr).

SetFileDateAtr(File,[Created,[LastAccessed,[LastModified,[Atributes]]]])
This method allows you to set dates and attributes for specified file. All arguments except the first one are optional. You also may place reference to any existent File object (FSO) instead of any argument as source for dates or attributes.
