I am not sure if at all it can be done..
I have folders all named yyyy-mm-dd
They contain photos, the foldernames are based on the Exif-date of the photos in the folders.
Usually the timestamp of the folders follows the is the same as the folderdate.
A long complicated story, but bottomline I managed to redate the timestamp of all the folders to
one and the same date.
So, the foldernames still is as per the exif-files in those folders, but the timestamp of all folders is
the same.
If there is no solution for it, I have to live with it, but preferrably I'd like to have the timestamp
correspond with the exifdate.
It's possible via scripting but it's probably not worth doing.
(You could take the script which sets file timestamps based on EXIF values and modify it so it instead sets folder timestamps based on their names. Or, alternatively, you could modify it so it runs on the files and EXIF values but sets the parent folder's timestamp instead of each file's.)
Trying to store useful information within folder timestamps is fairly futile because the timestamps are so easily bumped by accident if you modify the folder contents.
Thanks.
Files are dated as per exif-date, so foldernames and filedates are as per exif-date.
Hopefully my backupprogram will not make a separate backup of all the 'new' folders
because of the different timestamp. I'll be running out diskspace then ..

I don't understand something or maybe I'm just missing something obvious. If the changed folders still have the same name but different timestamps, why would your backup program back them up to a separate location? I can understand why it might back them up again because of the different timestamps but not to a different location.
