Setting the date of multiple files doesn't work

[dandv 0]

1. Select multiple files

2. Alt+E

3. In the "Date (D-M-Y)" field of the "Last write", type 11-11-2001

4. Press Enter.

 

Notice that the date of the files did not change.

hi dan

 

the reason is that at the moment NDN checks for a valid time and date for each of the 3 time/date combinations

 

right now you have to enter a valid date + time to make NDN apply it

I find it very useful to change only the date of the files and not the time.

For example, I use a script to set the time of MP3 files to their duration (so if an MP3 is 3 minutes 40 seconds, its timestamp is 3:40:00).

When I have an album of MP3s, I want their times to stay like I set them, but all the dates to be set to the date of the release of the album.

so, an empty line should mean to use the old data of the file?

AH,

 

ofcourse, empty fields means - Keep the current data unchanged.

 

only replace entered fields.

 

good idea,
