File Touch command #26163

Open ChristianDiscer opened 11 months ago

ChristianDiscer commented 11 months ago

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Add a "touch" file feature to update the file date to current date or to a date specified by the user.

Scenario when this would be used?

To inform the user or recipient of a file is "up to date" even though it physically was not modified. Comes in handy to when backing up files after a certain date.

Supporting information

See this IBM documentation: https://www.ibm.com/docs/pl/aix/7.1?topic=t-touch-command

Are you asking for Powershell? If so, Powershell Feedback, seems to be where feedback can be given to Powershell.

This repository is for the PowerToys which is an application that provides quality of life features to a Windows computer. I don't understand how what you are suggesting would fit with it, sorry.

This is likely a new utility for PowerToys. The PowerToys suggestion link directed me to this location.

Sorry for the confusion, based on the formatting of the IBM page it looked like a CLI request.

I understand - the IBM page was to give an example of TOUCH's abilities. Thanks for keeping on top of this.
