Windows 10: Seeking advice on multiple file attribute changer with preview

Regularly.. I wish to update the modified dates of files, based on the dates mentioned IN the documents.

For instance, a list of PDF files, or JPG/PNG files, all in the same folder.

Right now, the process is like this:
- open each single file
- remember the date displayed (or write it down)
- close the file
- change the file with some attribute change tool
- open the next file
.. and so on.

Am seeking a tool that:
-shows the contents of a file
-so I can change the modified date shown
then click on [Next] to display the contents of the next file
and so on.

I.e. no need to open/close, open/close...remember dates

Most attribute changers can handle 1 file only, or batch (all having the same date) but do not have preview of the contents.

Any suggestions?

:)

 

File Explorer Create date attribute

When I change a file create date to any date before 1980, File Explorer does not show the date attribute and sorting by date does not work.

I am using Bulk File Changer or Attribute Changer to change the attribute. I believe this is a bug.

 

Change file attribute to 'unhide'

Hello Walt,

Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft Community and welcome to the Windows 10 Family.

I suggest you to follow the below steps to change the attribute of any file/folder to unhide.

Step A: Show Hidden files

1. Open Windows Explorer(win logo key+E) or My computer.

2. Now click on View on top of the window.
3. Untick ‘Hidden items’ in the options.

Step B: Change file attribute

1. Once the hidden file is located, right click on the file/folder you want to change the attribute for.

2. Go to ‘properties’, untick the box facing hidden.

3. Now, Click on ‘apply’ and then ‘ok’.

Hope it helps.

Thank You.
