Partial date/time modify - not working for mixed input

[krapet]

Files => Change Attributes => Change date/time

I'm unable to combine letters and numbers in input box.

If I understand well d,M,yyyy,hh,mm,ss represents original file attributes.
By replacing any of them I can modify just the selected part.

While I have two or more files selected the d.M.yyyy / hh:mm:ss is offered.
When I change whole date or whole time it works fain.

But when I would like to change just part of the date or time (day or month or year or hours or minutes or seconds) it doesn't work as I expect.
For example: set day to 30 : 30.M.yyyy, set year to 2011: d.M.2011, set minutes to 00: hh:00:ss

For more sophisticated date manipulations I recommend to use the Redate addon.
You can set each part individual, fix or increment / decrement it.

I think it is an exellent suggestion, to be able to mix new and old parts of date/time this way. And I don't think it would be very hard to implement.

Redate addon, can do it, but I think it would be much faster just to write your own redate mask like krapet suggests

Request seconded!

TC should be able to change e.g. only the year of selected files while leaving the day and month as is. My camera has a bug which causes the file date to be off by one year and currently I have to change each date manually.

Could you please look into this, Mr Ghisler?

Actually the Addtime addon is better suited for your case - just add 1 to the year.
