Taking Ashley’s sample screenshot of “a bunch of documents with incorrect created dates” in the ‘Test Folder’ as an example. Crucially, there is no function to copy from a selected timestamp field. After testing the program, I find it (at least in its current form) way too limited for most use cases. I didn’t run it through a translator, but I guess it’s an alert message telling me that the target file is currently in use & so its timestamp can’t be changed.ģ. For instance, it gave me a popup with all Japanese text. Not all of its popup messages are translated into English. Even better, aim for a more unique name such as “OGA Timestamper”.Ģ. Even “OGA Change Timestamp” (after its developer OGA) is more memorable & findable than its current generic name.

The program could have been better named to improve its search-engine discoverability.
