Update file date-time after a list of (txt/csv/clipboard) folder modified date-times

I have a list of files, recently created and would like to change the modified date after the modified date of existing folders with the same name.

Any suggestions?

example:

SnagIt-20082018%20160634

I could create a txt or csv list of all the folders with the modified date alright, but haven't found a way to update the file modified date after such a list.

Thanks!

Maybe the ClipboardEx script addin helps?

After adding the addin to you DO setup, you can run..
ClipboardEx COPYTIMESTAMPS
to copy timestamps from selected items.

And after selecting the other items, you can run..
ClipboardEx PASTETIMESTAMPS=modified
and your modified timestamps should be copied.

Many thanks tbone! It worked fine!
Super...

You're welcome. o)
The timestamp copy/paste feature is something I picked up from a script done by Leo. Thanks Leo! o)

It's handy in context menus, I use it like this:

copymore pastemore

Thanks again, also for the tip on the context menu.
It is nice.
Problem with my context menu: it became a little too big :slight_smile:

[Off topic]
There are too many items there, my context menu, and I should do some cleanup I guess. Some items are there, having been used a couple of times only. I could remove them of course, but then again, they -might- be handy some day and I might have to start searching for it. Install it and figure out how I added it to context menu the last time... etc.
So, one way or the other I would like to keep them. Maybe add to them some drop down button with a collection of less used features, whatever.

Anyway, am happy with this solution!
(If Leo was the 'source', then also compliments to him on my part of course.)
