Modified Date Needs to Change for Changed Files

Great tool. A weird quirk is that none of the files changed has the modified date changed so I can't tell which files have been changed.

For example I have 1600 images that someone used a space so that space has now been changed to %20 in the actual file name. Maybe 10% of these files have this problem. This tool renames them just fine but I can't tell by looking in explorer which files were changed. There is a Change File Timestamps option but that changes all selected files rather than just the files that matched my renaming requirements.

I found that if I run a dos command I can find the files I changed I can then copy them to a "new" directory. Because I replaced %20 with __ which is a unique to my file names I was able to just search for __

for /r %a in (*__*) do xcopy "%a" new /i

In #12Filter, you could use: *%20*
That makes sure that only files with %20 get selected for changes.
You just have to hit F5 afterwards to refresh the file selection.
