App: Date Paradox Resolver

Date Paradox Resolver is a maintenance tool which resolves paradoxes in file & folder date stamps.

Date stamps on files & folders may sometimes be set incorrectly. For example, a creation date may appear as 1904, long before electronic computers existed; or the modification date may be before the creation date. We refer to cases such as these as paradoxes.

Date Paradox Resolver allows these paradoxes to be resolved. Prehistoric dates can be reset to something more reasonable, future dates to the current one, and creation dates set to the modification date if the latter is earlier. Individual items or whole folder trees can be processed.

Additionally; as one cause of invalid creation dates is a copy operation which fails to set them correctly; Date Paradox Resolver supports copying the creation dates from another item. This is most useful when the target and source are folder trees.
