Set Selected file to Current Date with AutoHotkey

[jinsight]

I want to select a file or files and then run a macro to set those files to the current date by using Alt-A, u for current date and the enter key.

As a beginner, I tried to record an AutoHotkey macro but could not get it to work.

Can anyone offer the AutoHotkey code for this?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Does it necessarily have to be AHK script?
You can do it easy with TC 10 without any external tool.

1. Define user command or just add such a code to USERCMD.INI

Code: Select all

[em_setcurrenttime]
button=%COMMANDER_EXE%,24
cmd=OPENATTRIBUTES
param==+c

2. Define hotkey for this command.

No need for AHK for that.

Open your usercmd.ini file (located in the same directory as you wincmd.ini file - if not the make it in Notepad) and add this:

Code: Select all

[em_setcurrenttime]
cmd=OPENATTRIBUTES= +c

In TC go to "Configuration" -> "Options..." -> "Misc" -> "Redifine hotkeys (Keyboard remapping)" - selct Alt + A and assign em_setcurrenttime to this selection.

EDIT
Saw Gral' answer after posting mine - notice that my solution executes the change automatically due to the = after OPENATTRIBUTES

Gral's solution does the same.
Look at the param==

Exactly!

Oops - sorry, I overlooked the double == (I always put the = directly after the command name in the cmd line, so that is why I didn't notice it in the param line)

Thank you one and all for the speedy help. I would like to think I could/should have figured it out for myself. I'm glad you folks were present to, in fact, figure it out!
