[As never got an answer to the question from the last paragraph in this old post of mine https://freecommander.com/forum/viewtop ... 9&start=15 and currently do not see a way to do this in FreeCommander - here goes my proposition:]
Would it be possible for a user to select and item, execute by whatever means copy action on it and then after selecting whatever items user wishes and going to
File > Attributes/Timestamp...
to be able to apply the accessed and / or created and / or modified timestamp to those selected items by clicking a button or selecting some check-box - which timestamp(s) would be taken from that copied to clipboard item?
This would save a lot of time and clicking and also would reduce the number of user errors as choosing [thus entering] of new dates and times would not be entered more or less manually but would be provided automatically by a source file
And this could also be done even quicker by implementing a keyboard shortcut that would just paste all of the three possible timestamps taken from item copied to the clipboard of Windows. So a user would for example: select a folder, press CTRL+C, navigate to some other folder, select 8 files- press e.g. CTRL+SHIFT+V - and thus change dates and times of those 8 files without a need of opening for them of the Attributes/Timestamp feature window
Timestamp from existing item quick application
Re: Timestamp from existing item quick application
Such option of quick applying of timestamps should be made also available as a Command for the Splitter and Address Bar, thus be made accessible as an icon / button
Re: Timestamp from existing item quick application
What about
- Implemented: New action added - Copy modified timestamp;Copies modified timestamp of the focused item to clipboard for using in Attributes/Timestamp dialog
Re: Timestamp from existing item quick application
Yes: it is now [since build 892] possible to select an item and to click an icon in order to get its timestamp
But no: it not possible to do a similar action for applying it to another item
It should work like this:
select >>> copy >>> select other >>> paste
[possibly also with keyboard shortcrust] without going to
File > Attributes/Timestamp...
Using that feature should be required only for some heavy duty changes and not something as trivial as e.g. making all audio files from a week long session od editing bear the same day [which I do on a regular basis as dates tell me a lot later on]
