As a software designer I would love to find *nix style "touch" command integrated into Servant Salamander.
The main use of touch is to update the timestamp on a file; if you touch an existing file, it changes the last modification date of that file to now. That feature is often needed when re-compiling software packages.
Of course it is possible to have an extarnal touch and have it in user menu (as I have now), but still it would be more handy to have the same functionality integrated.
touch command
Re: touch command
When I need to change timestamp of all files in (sub)directories (e.g. for making installation package of it), I simply use Ctrl+F2, "Include subdirectories", click the datetimes, "Set current" and that's it. You know this feature and find it unsuitable for your needs?
Change Date and Time - "Touch" Command
The "Touch" command in SS 2.0 was very beneficial.
No "Touch" command, per say you say, but with two (or more) files highlighted ...
Ctrl+F2 | Alt+N | CR
quickly & effectively touched the marked files.
In SS 2.5 doing the same is highly cumbersome.
Ctrl+F2 | Alt+M | spacebar | CR
is just not the same.
Even if the Alt+M automatically checkmarked the date box, would be beneficial.
