Changing Attributes

The Change Attributes & Times dialog lets you modify both the attributes of a file and its timestamps. To access this function, select the files and folders you wish to modify and choose the Attributes command from the Properties drop-down menu.

 

Attributes are the set of "flags" that all files and folders have, that control certain properties of the file entry as part of the filesystem. File attributes are displayed in the Attr column in the file display (in details and power mode).

The attributes that you can change through this dialog are:

 

Timestamps are the various time and date values stored for each file and folder. The timestamps you can modify through this dialog are:

 

The Change Attributes & Times dialog lets you modify either the attributes, or the timestamps, or both. The Attributes section of the dialog lets you modify attributes in two ways:

 

The Times section of the dialog lets you choose which timestamps you wish to modify.

 

The Sub-folders section of the dialog lets you control what happens how folders are processed by this function.

 

When you click OK, Opus will proceed to make your requested changes to the selected files and folders. All files and folders in the current file display that were selected when you invoked the Change Attributes & Times function will be modified. The contents of sub-folders will also be modified if you have the Make the same changes option (above) turned on.
