Timestamping

[prino]

Could you consider adding an option (a green V with a little 3, like the cube-root key on some old pocket calculators, inside it comes to mind) that would make it possible to apply a timestamp to all three (Created/Modified/Accessed) timestamps simultaneously in the Properties panel, removing the need to change one, Cut&Paste the date into the second and repeat this process for the third?

Yes, something like this would be great. I've thought about a few times. If you could popup a calender, would be handy also.

apply a timestamp to all three (Created/Modified/Accessed) timestamps simultaneously

If you want you can add a User Button with such a script to change all timestamps to current time:

Code: Select all

timestamp 

timestamp [type], [date], [itemlist]
type [optional] c|m|a or any combinations in any order (cm, am, cma, ac...); defaults to cma
date [optional] must be in a format that the local system can understand; missing: defaults to Now;

An icon you can find on the net, like this one (it's not green, but do the work)

  $refName  = "<curname>";
  $refDateM = "<datem>";
  focus "PI";
  $curName  = "<curname>";
  $curDate  = "<datem>";

  $do = confirm("Use timestamp of<crlf>$refName - $refDateM
                  <crlf>to modify<crlf>$curName - $curDate?");
  if($do==1){
     //timestamp [type], [date], [itemlist]
       timestamp cam, $refDateM;
  }
