Blog Background

There are several options for changing attributes in Attribute Changer. After searching for a long time, I finally know the difference between them.

Detailed operation

In general, this use saved is a bit similar to the format brush

Launching Attribute Changer
Attribute Changer is implemented as a Windows Explorer Add-on (Shell Extension) and
cannot be run independently.
Right-click on drives, folders and files in Windows Explorer and selectone of the following
available context menu entries:
Change Attributes
This is the standard way to run Attribute Changer. If a single file or / and folder is selected,
Attribute Changer will retrieve the currentvalues ​​from the file and folder and display them in
Attribute Changer.
If multiple files or folders are selected, Attribute Changer displays the most commonly used
attributes and the current system date & time. For example, ifall files have the Archive
attribute set, then the Archive attribute will be checked in the user interface. If one of the files
has a different Archive attribute, then the Archive attribute will be grayed in the user interface.
Change Attributes / Use Current
At least two objects must beselected in Windows Explorer to be able to use this feature. The
Change Attributes / Use Current menu item takes the attributes, date and time values ​​of the
item you right-clicked on to run Attribute Changer. The selected valuesare then displayed in
the File and Folder Properties tab.
It's a simple way to duplicate attributes, date and time between multiple files and folders.
Please note that the item you right-clicked is excluded from thelist of objects to process.
Change Attributes / Use Saved
Sometimes, you need to apply the last used set of attributes, date and time again and again.
Attribute Changer saves by default the last used configuration,including attributes, date and
time.
In the Settings tab in Attribute Changer, you can disable the automatic configuration change
and do it manually when needed and create some kind of Preset configuration.
When yourun Attribute Changer against multiple selected items and choose Change
Attributes / Use Saved, it ignores the current attributes, date and time and restores the
configuration from the last use.
