date modified hour and zip files in DST timezone

You could e.g. include the NirCmd utility in the archive and then run a RestoreCorrectTimes.cmd, which would contain the commands to correct the timestamps, something like:

Code: Select all

nircmdc.exe setfiletime file1.jpg "" "28-08-2023 12:40:31"
nircmdc.exe setfiletime file2.jpg "" "28-08-2023 12:45:27"

What do you mean by “ You could e.g. include the NirCmd utility in the archive” ?? is the .cmd file you refer to inside the archive or is it used outside the archive after unpacking the files ?

anmac1789,
To set the correct timestamps after unpacking, you will need both the nircmd utility and the .cmd batch file. I would suggest to include them in the archive so they do not get lost, but yes, they get used after unpacking the archive. It is not necessary to include them in the archive, only convenient.

Pure TC solution.
Write datetime to comment, pack "descript.ion" with files.
After unpack write comment to writedatetime.
Create two buttons for instant write.
------------------------------------
Add to WINCMD.INI file

Code: Select all

[attrplugin]
Writedate2Comment=tc.comment := "[=tc.writedate.Y-M-D h-m-s]"
Comment2Writedate=tc.writedate := [=tc.comment]

------------------------------------
Modification for line "Writedate2Comment" may be needed depending on your system settings
------------------------------------

Add to USERCMD.INI

Code: Select all

[em_writedate2comment]
cmd=OPENATTRIBUTES=
param=Writedate2Comment

[em_comment2writedate]
cmd=OPENATTRIBUTES=
param=Comment2Writedate

------------------------------------
Add buttons to buttonbar

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
em_writedate2comment

wcmicons.dll


0
10000

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
em_comment2writedate

wcmicons.dll


0

Works for branch view and for search result panel.
You always need to select files before the action!

anmac1789,

Then the .cmd file will have thousands of lines.

Holy crap this looks complicated hold on let me digest this. Has anyone tried this ?

[anmac1789]

Assuming that I have the original files even after packing files to zip, is there a way to change files or folders with odd second timestamps inside the zip archive ? even by mounting the zip as a local drive using winarchiver pro or some other software

[Hacker]

anmac1789,

is there a way to change files or folders with odd second timestamps inside the zip archive

No. The .zip file doesn't know what odd timestamps are, there is no way to store them. To a .zip file, an odd timestamp does not and cannot exist.

Ok, maaan i wish phil katz wasnt so drunk he wpuldve lived to improve on the zip format

[ghisler(Author)]

It's not his fault, ZIP uses the FAT32 date format which cannot store odd seconds.

How come total commander cant use extended timetamps when making zip files ?

[ghisler(Author)]

Extended timestamps would be stored in an extra header and would therefore make the ZIP file larger.

But even then wouldnt it beneficial at the cost of extra file size ?
