Batch change of File Attributes
Posted: Thu Mar 09, 2006 10:23 am
Is there a way to change file attributes (like "archive", "read only") for a selection of multiple files?
When I do it I have to confirm it for every single selected file.
Thanks for any hints.
Background:
I have some 10.000 pictures in a quite well organized folder structure and Photo Shop Elements (PSE) as Managing Tool. If I search in PSE for pictures and copy it to a new location I loose all Folder Structure.
My idea is to use a IPTC search in XnView to change the archive flag. In the next step I can use the Xcopy-Command to copy all pictures to a new location which have the archive flag set. Xcopy can recreate the folder structure.
