I would like to right click on a file that I have highlighted and be able to change that files date/time from a right click menu.

hmm that's not possible, but you can easilly change the dates of one (or more) items simply by selecting them, then open the panel if it's not alredy there (F12 or right-click on the statusbar) and go in Properties

Click on the date you wanna change and set the new one (leave empty for current), validate in clicking on the green plus icon. Done! ;)

The current method is way to cumbersome!

With PowerDesk you highlight the file/s you want to change, click on the menu option File->Set File Date and a small window pops up with the File Date and time in smalll edit boxes. Quite easy and a lot easier then xyplorer. You could do the same thing with xyplorer only put the "Set File Date" routine in the right hand mouse button menu.

Yep, I have to agree. I'll add a more conventional interface ASAP.
