Restamper Description

Restamper is a lightweight and portable software tool that enables you to modify the time and date stamps for any type of file. It is backed by a simple set of options which are accessible to any kind of users, even those less experienced with such apps.Portability benefitsSince there is no installation involved, you can drop the program files in a custom location on the hard disk and just click the EXE file to run. Another option is to save Restamper to a USB flash disk or other mass storage device, and run it on any PC seamlessly and without previously installing anything. An important aspect to take into account is that the app does not create new entries in the Windows registry or Start menu. Simple and straightforward UIThe interface is clearly outdated. However, it has a simple structure that makes it easy to navigate. Worth mentioning is that Restamper applies the time and date stamps to all files once they are opened, so it is necessary to edit settings beforehand. Change time attributes in batch modeAs you have probably suspected by now, batch processing is supported, meaning that you can change date and time attributes for multiple files at once to reduce overall task duration. Entire directories may be pointed out for processing, and you can include or exclude subfolders, as well as authorize the app to temporarily remove the read-only attribute. Set custom values or insert the current time and dateIt is possible to alter attributes for date of creation, last modification and last access, or leave any of these three fields intact. You can either set custom values in UTC or local time format, or ask Restamper to set the current time and date. The tool automatically creates backups of the original files, just in case you change your mind. These can be restored from the "Stamp" menu. In addition, you can undo and redo actions. Performance and conclusionThe app rapidly applies changes to files while remaining light on the system resources. The only downside to it is that the report it automatically creates when finishing a task must be manually deleted before starting a new job. Otherwise, Restamper pops up an error and refuses to cooperate. We must also take into account that the tool has not been updated for a long time. Other than that, it serves its purpose.
