Post New Requests Here / IDEA: set folder modifed date/time to most recently modified file it contains
« on: January 02, 2009, 02:24 PM »
When trying to keep directory trees in sync between local disks and network drives, it is confusing when some of the folder dates get changed by the move/copy operation. FileSync tools may ignore this but unfortunately my brain does not.
When looking at the source and destination directories I'd like the folder 'modified' date/time to reflect the most recently 'modified' file within that folder (tree). If the folder contains subfolders then it would be nice if it walked down the directory tree recursively modifying subdirectory timestamps and taking care of the entire tree. (Only the 'modified' timestamp would be altered)
