Attribute Changer is a powerful, free Windows utility that allows users to easily modify file and folder properties, attributes, and timestamps. Developed by Romain Petges in Luxembourg, it serves as a massive upgrade over the basic “Properties” menu built natively into Windows.
The tool integrates directly into the Windows Shell, allowing you to simply right-click any file, photo, or folder in File Explorer and select “Change Attributes” to begin editing. 🛠️ Key Features
Date and Time Manipulation: You can modify the “Created”, “Modified”, and “Accessed” timestamps on files and folders. It allows you to set absolute dates, add/subtract precise time increments, randomize timestamps, or sync them.
EXIF Photo Updates: It can deeply read and modify EXIF data embedded in digital photos, making it easy to fix incorrect “date taken” tags across entire photo collections.
Folder Redating: You can automatically update a parent folder’s timestamp to mirror the exact date of its oldest or newest internal file.
Filename Case Tweaks: It provides quick tools to batch-convert filenames to uppercase, lowercase, or capitalized layouts.
Advanced Filtering: For large folders, you can build filters to only target files based on size, name extensions, specific attributes, or existing date ranges.
Standard File Flags: Easily force or remove system flags like Read-Only, Hidden, Archive, System, Indexing, and NTFS compression. 🔍 Safe Operations & Formats
