Attribute Changer is an application that allows you to change all kind of file and folder attributes like date, time and even NTFS compression.

Changing attributes and date/time stamps on file and folders in Windows is somewhat troublesome - Attribute Changer will helpfully assist you in this task.

Attribute Changer acts as a Windows shell extension and simplifies changing file and folder attributes by adding itself to the context menus for drives, folders and files. Filters and exceptions can be used to fine tune the update process.

Version 5 is a complete rewrite of the product and features many long awaited enhancements, such as direct access to date and time options, displaying current attributes for selected files and folders and relative date/time adjustments. Furthermore, it now features a multi-language enabled installer.

Furthermore, date and time on files and folders can be partially changed. In this case, you can advise Attribute Changer not to change the whole object data, but only parts such as day, month, year, seconds, minutes or hours. The progress can be monitored in realtime on the "Activity and Results" tab.

Filters and exceptions should be used to fine tune the process. Filters include attributes, size, date and time while exceptions are used to filter out files and directory entries using wildcards (* and ?).

Here are some key features of "Attribute Changer":

· Relative time adjustment now automatically adjusts date if necessary
· Reuse current file and folder settings (keep among sessions)
· Copy existing attribute and datetime settings between file/folder tabs
· Simulation mode
· Detailed logging
