How to change any/all attributes of a file or directory

[RRbitwise]

I am trying to find a method in XYplorer which allows me to change any attribute of a file or directory. In particular, I want to be able to change a time stamp (create date, modified date) of a directory or set of directories, much like a Linux "touch"tool. There is a nice Windows Explorer add-on named Attribute Changer (www.petges.lu) which does this quite nicely. Is there an equivalent capability in XYplorer?

Thanks !

Select file(s)/folder(s), then Open the Properties tab of the Info Pane.
What's that?

click anywhere (or the blue arrow) on the statusbar, then choose Properties tab.

OR if you've changed the default shortcut, press CTRL+1.

Attibute-changing in the Properties tab should be self-explanatory, (you have to click on the dates to modify them) press the green tickmark that appears after changing attribs to apply the change.

Thanks for the help. The method you describe does work (not very intuitive, however).
Is there some way to do this in a script?

Code: Select all

::help "idh_scripting_comref.htm#idh_sc_attrstamp";

Code: Select all

::help "idh_scripting_comref.htm#idh_sc_timestamp"

I'm trying to change the alt attribute of JPGs and PNGs but that attribute doesn't appear in the properties pane. Is there another way to add that alt attribute?

What alt attribute?

Email signature images can cause outgoing emails to be blocked by recipient servers, if there's no alt attribute attached to the image.

When I open the image in ACDSee Photo Studio Ultimate, I can see it has a single character attribute of "A".

I'm trying to change that. Here's an image: Rt-Click > Properties > Details tab:

I can see it has a single character attribute of "A".

As far as i remember, A stands for "Archived", can be found in same XY's Properties tab at the bottom, and is simply an attribute of any file(has smth to do with system's management, though i may be not fully accurate here).

That screenshot shows the ARCHIVE attribute...

OK; thanks for that. For anyone who might stumble upon this thread, figured out how to do it with Outlook's email signatures:

Outlook > File > Options > Mail > Signatures > Rt-Click Image > Picture > Alt Text tab > e.g. "MY COMPANY LOGO"
