Total Commander

Sometimes I need to copy a file, but update the creation date/time to now for new file. Now I copy the file and then go to Change attributes... and set the new date/time to Current.

So I ask here if can be possible to add a new option in copy dialogue to do this automatically?

Or it is possible to do this in other way?

Thank you

I think you can use a batch to copy the file and then
in the same batch utilize a tool like 'touch' to set the timestamp.

Such batch you can put on an button or assign an hotkey to it.

Or use PoSH, which will do all this at one.
TC can deliver the parameters like "%P%N" "%T%N"

Pseudo Code:
Cmd: powershell
Para: CopyAndStamp.ps1 "%P%N" "%T%N"


I have less experience with this "$args[0]" parameter "delivery" to a
powershell script, but I can try,....later the day.


 

Never mind, I just did an short test...

Try this button

Copy selected file to target panel and set date and time to Now()

CMD: PowerShell
Para: Copy """%P%N""" """%T%N"""; (Dir """%T%N""").LastWriteTime = Get-Date
[X] Run minimized


From:
C:\Temp\File name.ext 01.04.2012 08:48   [face=timesnewroman](ex. origin date)[/face]
TO:
X:\Back\File name.ext 05.09.2014 15:08   [face=timesnewroman](current date)[/face]

BTW:
I just test some more usage...

Create a copy of selected with "_bak" inserted in same folder:

Para: Copy """%P%N""" """%P%O_bak.%E"""; (Dir """%P%O_bak.%E""").LastWriteTime = Get-Date
[X] Run minimized

From:
C:\Temp\File name.ext 01.04.2012 08:48   [face=timesnewroman](ex. origin date)[/face]
TO:
C:\Temp\File name_bak.ext 05.09.2014 15:08   [face=timesnewroman](current date)[/face]

Touch selected file with current timestamp:

CMD: PowerShell
Para: (Dir """%P%N""").LastWriteTime = Get-Date
[X] Run minimized

From:
C:\Temp\File name.ext 01.04.2012 08:48 [face=timesnewroman](ex. origin date)[/face]
TO:
C:\Temp\File name.ext 05.09.2014 15:08 [face=timesnewroman](current date)[/face]
