Main Window
Date and Time Values
The format of date and time is "Year-Month-Day Hour:Minute:Second". The
precision is 100 nanoseconds (though not all file systems support it),
so that the second is expressed as a decimal. For example, one date and
time value can be "2009-01-23 01:23:45.1234567".
Options
On FAT file systems, time stamps of directories would not be changed. When
working on a FAT file system, select "Exclude directories" as possible
to avoid errors.
To modify time stamps of read-only files, select "Temporarily remove
the read-only attribute". With the option cleared, all attempts to set
time stamps of read-only files would fail.
Outputs
For each stamp task, one task directory is created in the output directory
(by default, the desktop). A task directory is going to contain a log file
and a backup file. Backup files are used to restore the old state.
