Restore File Attributes and File DateStamp/TimeStamp - Feature Request #184

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Could you build in the ability to Restore File Attributes and File 
DateStamp/TimeStamp  (you would have to store them in the delta file). For 
Streams you could use current Date & Time. ?

It would then make regeneration of a file even more complete / 100%.

It can be important in some cases (where files need specific attributes, e.g. 
system/hidden files). Or in certain cases, e.g. when executable file checks its 
file date/time and attributes and takes certain actions if they are not the 
original know attributes and time/date

Agreed.  I'd like to overhaul the application header to include these fields 
and a more structured format.
