Dirdate Recurse Problem

[JackOfHearts]

I am running DirDate v5.7 Portable 64bit on Windws 7 Pro 64.

There seems to be a problem with the "Recurse" (-R) command in DirDate.

If "Disk_2" is a directory and I enter the command:

Code: Select all

dirdate -R -ALL d=01/06/2013 t=00:00:00 Disk_2

Only the dates for directory "Disk_2" are changed, not any of the files inside directory "Disk_2".

If however I enter the command:

Code: Select all

dirdate -R -ALL d=01/06/2013 t=00:00:00 *.*

The dates for directory "Disk_2" are changed as well as the all the files in directory "Disk_2"

If the "Recurse" command is to be recursive, when a specific directory is named and the -R option is used, then all files and subdirectories within the specified directory should also be targeted.

The Recurse command requires you to specify which files to operate on, because otherwise your wildcard is effectively 'Disk_2'.

It not actually a bug, but an artefact of having to provide a distinction between file operations and folder operations.
