Description =========== BulkFileChanger is a small utility that allows you to create files list from multiple folders, and then make some action on them - Modify their created/modified/accessed time, change their file attribute (Read Only, Hidden, System), run an executable with these files as parameter, and copy/cut paste into Explorer. BulkFileChanger is a replacement for the old FileDate Changer utility.

System Requirements =================== This utility works on any version of Windows, starting from Windows 2000 and up to Windows 7.

Versions History ================ * Version 1.01: o Fixed bug: When the find dialog-box was in focus, pressing the delete key removed the file from the main window. * Version 1.00: First release.

Using BulkFileChanger ===================== BulkFileChanger doesn't require any installation process or additional dll files. In order to start using it, simply run the executable file BulkFileChanger.exe After running BulkFileChanger, you can add files into the list by using one of the following methods: * Copy and Paste: Simply copy files from Explorer window (Ctrl+C) and then paste them into BulkFileChanger (Ctrl+V). You can also copy files from other utilities of NirSoft, like SearchMyFiles and HashMyFiles. * Drag From Explorer: You can add files by dragging them from Explorer window into the main window of BulkFileChanger. * 'Add Files' option (F2):Add files from 'open file' dialog-box. * 'Add By Wildcard' option (F3):Add multiple files by specifying wildcard, path, and subfolder depth to scan. (For Example:

c:\temp\*.txt) You can also remove files from the list by using 'Remove Selected Files' option (Del key) or clear the entire files list by using 'Clear Files List' (Ctrl+L) After you added the desired files, you can select some of them or all of them (Ctrl+A) and then use one of the following options: * Change Time / Attributes (F6): Allows you to modify the modified/created/accessed time of the selected files. You set them to specific time/date values or you can add/subtract days/hours/minutes/seconds from the existing file time. You can also modify the attributes of the files, like Read-Only, Hidden, and so on. * Execute Command On Selected Files (F7): Allows you to run any executable with the selected files as command-line parameter. For example: if you specify 'c:\temp\MyProgram.exe "%1"' in the execute command string, BulkFileChanger will run MyProgram.exe for every file in the list, and the "%1" will be replaced with the full path filename. * Explorer Copy/Cut: You can use the copy or cut option to copy/move the selected files into another folder window of Explorer. * Export Selected Items: You can export the files list into html/text/html/csv file.

Run BulkFileChanger with /savelangfile parameter: BulkFileChanger.exe /savelangfile A file named BulkFileChanger_lng.ini will be created in the folder of BulkFileChanger utility. 2.
