Changing file properties in bulk

Post by *YossiD »

I have a bunch of files that were exported from a data repository application. All of the files picked up the current data as their Date modified, but when I look at the file properties I see that the actual date is shown as Date last saved.

Is there any way using Total Commander (or something else) to change the Date modified to be the same as Date last saved? That would enable me to sort them in chronological order in Total Commander.

There are a lot of files so I'd prefer a way to do this in bulk rather than one by one.

Thanks

The "Date last saved" property is not a Windows property but a property of a program such as Word. You will need an external plugin to access such property.

You need ShellDetails plugin for this -> https://totalcmd.net/plugring/shelldetails.html
After instal you can set writedate=shelldetails.datelastsave on "Change attributes" window
