date modified = date creation

[Hurdet]

Do it is possible to change in batch the date modified to date creation?

[MVV]

Select files, open attributes window, then use bottom window part (Plugins). You can change any time/date using any other time/date.

Here with a CMD Batch.

Utilize "ForFiles myBatch.cmd @file" to execute the batch for every file in folder.


X:\myFolder>ForFiles /M *.txt /c "cmd /c SetModifiedToCreated1.cmd @file"



SetModifiedToCreated1.cmd

Code: Select all

@echo off
REM change date modified to date created
REM use date created as date modified time
REM Get file date created > tmp
REM Set file date modified < tmp


REM USAGE: X:\myFolder>ForFiles /M *.txt /c "cmd /c SetModifiedToCreated1.cmd @file"

SET myfile=%1

Instead of ForFiles you can also utilize TCs %L parameter:

Edit

My touch /c /v output is as follows. If yours differ, you have to adjust FOR ("tokens=2 skip=4") parameters.

Code: Select all

c:\Temp\BatchTEST>touch /c /v "aaa - Kopie.txt"

Processing: c:\Temp\BatchTEST\aaa - Kopie.txt
