Copying date created from another file

Postby chiron » Sun Feb 26, 2012 7:26 pm

Hi all, I'm new here and would like to accomplish the following.
After re-encoding video files into a more storage friendly format I would like to copy the date/time created from the original file to the new one. Is there a way to do this wiht BRU?

Situation:
Videoclip1.mov 01.01.2012 01:00:00 (this is the Original)
Videoclip1.mp4 26.02.2012 19:40:00 (this is the Re-encoded)
Videoclip2.mov 01.01.2012 02:00:00
Videoclip2.mp4 26.02.2012 19:45:00

after 'Rename'

Videoclip1.mov 01.01.2012 01:00:00
Videoclip1.mp4 01.01.2012 01:00:00 (Date created from Original)
Videoclip2.mov 01.01.2012 02:00:00
Videoclip2.mp4 01.01.2012 02:00:00

I hope there's a solution and many thanks for your help!

For editing the files meta data you may want to use an good file manager of your choice, like TotalCommander or XYplorer.
