Modified dates for folders

[CCarmichael]

Hi,

I could be being drawing a blank on a setting, but is there a way to set the modified date to take into consideration the modified dates of subfolders due to the way that Windows only looks at the parent folder?

If possible can the same be done to the accessed date as I'm trying to go though around 50TB of archived data to isolate the parent folders that haven't been modified/accessed in the last two years.

Thank you very much.
Regards,
Charles

Can you give an example to illustrate what you mean?

Hi,
What I mean is we have 100s of project folders and what we are trying to do is filter folders that haven't been modified/accessed for more than 2 years. An example is:

X:\
X:\BEF-GEB (Modified date 04/08/2020 as shown in Windows explorer and XYPlorer)
X:\BEF-GEB\ Z-Current Drawings (Modified date 08/02/2023 as shown in Windows explorer and XYPlorer)

Is there any way that I can get the list of folders when looking at all the folders on the server (X:\ in the example above) to show the date of the updated subfolder against the projects parent folder (X:\BEF-GEB in the above example)

I hope this makes sense

I assume there is more than one subfolder in X:\BEF-GEB? So which date should it show?

Such stuff could be done via a scripted custom column...

Correct, the example (Z-Current Drawings) was the most recently updated sub-folder so the modified date for the parent folder should be showing as 08/02/2023

See here, that's the answer: viewtopic.php?p=215262#p215262

I don't think the general demand for this would justify an unscripted solution.

Thanks. The link just returns to this thread, could you send over the link again.

It returns precisely to this sentence:

Thanks, apologies for the slow reply.
