Question about timestamping

Post by Explorer »

I'm not a coder, just a simple user of XYplorer, so please excuse my dumb question:

I want to change the "created" timestamps of a selection of files to it's own "modified" timestamp. But I have no idea how to do it. Since I'm not a programmer the help file doesn't really help.

I tried this: timestamp 'c', "<datem>";

But it doesn't change the "c" timestamp to it's own "m" timestamp, it changes it to the "m" timestamp of the first file of the selection instead.

Any help?

Thank you.

Code: Select all

timestamp 'c', '*', , 'm';
Sorry, that example is in the help file...
Examples with cloned dates within files

Set the created date of all selected list items to the modified date of each item:

timestamp 'c', '*', , 'm';

Set the modified date of all selected list items to the created date of each item:

timestamp 'm', '*', , 'c';

Thank you. You are right, it is in the help file. I simply didn't understand the "cloned dates" part in the headline (my English is to bad). Maybe I didn't read carefully enough.
