handle better date than windows does

hi,
in win7 x64, tc8.51a
maybe it should be an option somewhere in TC because windows ruins it all.
when you rename a file in TC, windows doesn't change the file date but change only the parent folder date !
if TC would change the file date when you rename a file in TC, it would be perfect ! (and keep the folder change date too of course)
why this is userfull :
well i daily check many files in folder, and once it's done, then i rename it. and when i doesn't change/save the file, the date remains the same. Next days or weeks, when i come back in the directory, i don't remember which file i already check last time because date is not changed after rename.
that is why it is userfull to change that date after rename
and even you could go further because, when you change save a file, windows doesn't change the parent folder date, so maybe you could find a way/option to help care of that. here an idea.
When user navigate into a folder, check the cpu usage, if nothing appen after 2 s, check the last file date and update the folder parent with it.
many time, i have to do a twice-false rename operatio in TC to get the folder date being change.
have a good day
