Bulk Attribute Editor - Batch timestamps & permissions with undo

Bulk Attribute Editor changes the modified/accessed timestamps and the permission bits of many files and folders at once on Linux, and records every change so the last batch can be undone.

A lightweight Linux alternative to BulkFileChanger for editing file dates and attributes in bulk.

Key Features:

  • Add files, folders (recursive) or your Home folder; the list shows real size, mtime, atime, ctime, mode and owner read from the filesystem.
  • Set modified/accessed time to an exact date, shift by days/hours/minutes, or copy the times from a reference file (nanosecond precision via utime).
  • Permission editor with an rwx matrix and octal field (chmod).
  • Change log with old/new values, one-click Undo of the last batch and CSV export.
  • Details tab with stat() data and extended attributes (xattr).
  • Bilingual donate header (Vietnamese / English).

Note: ctime (inode change time) is maintained by the kernel and cannot be set.
