#### 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.

## Enable snaps on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and install Bulk Attribute Editor

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snap is available for [Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8](https://www.redhat.com/en/enterprise-linux-8) and RHEL 7, from the 7.6 release onward.

The packages for RHEL 7, RHEL 8, and RHEL 9 are in each distribution’s respective [Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) (EPEL) repository. The instructions for adding this repository diverge slightly between RHEL 7, RHEL 8 and RHEL 9, which is why they’re listed separately below.

The EPEL repository can be added to **RHEL 9** with the following command:

```
sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm
sudo dnf upgrade
```

The EPEL repository can be added to **RHEL 8** with the following command:

```
sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
sudo dnf upgrade
```

The EPEL repository can be added to **RHEL 7** with the following command:

```
sudo rpm -ivh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
```

Adding the *optional* and *extras* repositories is also recommended:

```
sudo subscription-manager repos --enable "rhel-*-optional-rpms" --enable "rhel-*-extras-rpms"
sudo yum update
```

Snap can now be installed as follows:

```
sudo yum install snapd
```

Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
```

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```

Either log out and back in again or restart your system to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
