Atlence FileTime Manager Description
Files store a lot more info than what is seen on the surface. For instance, all of them are equipped with time tags, so you know when it got created, or when was the last time it went through changes. Management of such options can be done with programs like Atlence FileTime Manager, also offering a scheduler, and file monitor.
Target one or more files and folders
Before you can check out the application’s set of features, you need to make sure that .NET Framework is installed on your computer. After setup is done, the application’s functions can be triggered in several ways, including from a context menu integration, which can be applied for one or more files at a time.
The main window makes it easy to locate files of interest through the side tree list of all folders. Selecting one automatically enlists all detected files in a larger panel, with info like name, date created, modified, and last accessed. You can either change the timestamp of a single file directly, select more, or simply switch to the mass processing tab in order to select a folder to apply a new timestamp to all files and folders inside.
Schedule tasks, and monitor files
There are three target time fields you get control over, namely creation, modified, and last access date. At the press of a button, a corresponding field is automatically filled with current time and date settings, and you’re not forced to modify all fields.
If you don’t really have the required time to frequently modify the date of one or more files, there’s a built-in scheduler which can be configured to automatically do so every once in a while. Setting up a schedule is easy enough, with requirement fields only asking for the field to modify, and when exactly to do this.
Last but not least, the application can keep an eye on specific files to be notified whenever changes are detected. One or more of the three date rules needs to be selected to monitor, with the trigger either enabled for any detected change, or date is equal to a custom value. Unlike the scheduler, alerts here can display a message on your screen, restore original date, or run a program of your choice.
In conclusion
Bottom line is that timestamps on files don’t only provide details on events involving that particular file, but also serve as filters in search operations. Atlence FileTime Manager provides a neat way to control this time value, with options to handle multiple file at once, and even create automated processes with file monitors, and task schedules.
