Feature request, save/ get file attributes

Post by *LarsSandberg »

Hi, I have looked for a feature/ plugin that is able to save/ restore file-attributes (read only, hidden etc)) as well as timestamps, e.g.: Modified time on all files in a subfolder structure
This could work in a similar way as TC's "Create/ Verify Checksums" under the "File" menu tab, where Checksums are saved into a file
The userinterface could then have an option for saving or restore:
File attributes
Time stamps

I'm working with some 3D-CAD software, often using thousands of referenced files in a subfolder structure
If such subfolder structure is synchronized via dropbox etc. I don't have r/o status, and eventually not the original timestamps on files. During work I will make many of the referenced files as readonly, since they are references, not for modification
In a similar way I would like to be able to restore saved timestamps as well as file attributes again, that could be after migrating CAD data files into a newer version format, which doesn't change the content
If such tool/ plugin/ feature exist, I would be happy to know
If not, the consider this as a feature request
BR Lars
Best regards
Lars
