Finally!
A tool nobody should need, but everybody wants to have. With the Datei-Datums-Änderer you can change the filedate of any file you want. And you don't have to pay for it because it is FREE! Just open a file, change the date, and save the changings. That's it.
Furthermore the Datei-Datums-Änderer 1.1 is able to "remember" the filedates of a couple of files, so you can save them back all at once. It's fantastic!
From version 1.2 on, you can even save a new date and time to a couple of files at once. If you want to, the time stamp is incremented file-by-file. Version 1.3 even allows negative values, as well as increasing/decreasing the original time stamp of multiple files.
Using Version 1.4, you are able to edit a directory's time stamp or the whole contents of a directory (recursively). Keyboard shortcuts provide you with quick access to all functions. Wonderful!

All downloads have full source code.

Version history
-------------------------------
v1.0: The Datei-Datums-Änderer is born. You can change the
filedate of one file at once. There are bugs when altering
write-protected files. The info-window is of light blue.

v1.1: The bug while altering write-protected files has been
removed. You can tell the DDA how to handle these files.

Furthermore you can let the DDA "remember" the
filedates of several files located in one directory,
and save all the dates back by just a click.

v1.2: Now it's possible to change the filedate of a couple of files in
one single step. If you want to, the time stamp is incremented for each
new file, so you can easily sort them by date then.
At startup, the input fields now contain actual date and time.

v1.3: As a new feature, DDA allows you to increase/decrease the original
time stamps of multiple files. The time difference input form now has
fields for seconds, minutes, hours, days and years. Oversized values
(such as 60 seconds) are converted automatically, negative values are
supported as well.

v1.4: Finally, DDA can handle directories recursively, and now even
directory time stamps are supported. Drag & drop allows for opening
single files quickly, while keyboard shortcuts give you access to all
DDA functions. The user interface now has the Windows XP look-and-feel.
Using input parameters, you may integrate DDA into Windows Explorer
(e.g. by using the "Open with..." menu).

v1.4.1: When increasing/decreasing time stamps, the sum of all increase
values (i.e. seconds, minutes etc.) needed to be different from 0 - this
has been fixed.

DDA.exe has been built by the free "Borland Delphi 6 Personal Edition"
and then has been compressed using "UPX" (the "Ultimate
Packer for eXecutables").


Future
-----------------
For further automation, a future version of DDA shall support even more
command line parameters.
The whole time stamp information (including creation, last modification
and last access) will be another point to be included.
