Re: Setting Creation Date of file to a past date?
I used quotes wrong, use this:
>From LC, use:
put "powershell -command ^(Get-Item 'C:\Folder\File.txt').CreationTime=('31
December 2019 23:59:59')^" into tShell
replace "^" with quote in tShell
get shell(tShell)

Re: Setting Creation Date of file to a past date?
Touch tells it to update to now unless the date set is in the past and you
use the -d modifier.
If you install the Command Line Tools package from Apple on a mac you can
use the much better SetFile -d '12/31/1999 23:59:59' file.txt
On windoze, using powershell, send the command:
(Get-Item "C:\Folder\File.txt").CreationTime=("31 December 2019 23:59:59")
>From LC, use:

Re: Setting Creation Date of file to a past date?
Windows unfortunately does not include such a command line tool, but it should
be possible to do that with a powershell command which is executed with the
Shell() function.
so for example this command here
put shell("powershell (ls c:/users/matthias/test.txt).CreationTime = get-date
2019-12-24-00:00")
would change the creation date of the file c:/users/matthias/test.txt) to the
24th December 2019 at 00:00
If you want to change the last modification time instead of the creation time
then use the parameter LastWriteTime instead of CreationTime
put shell("powershell (ls c:/users/matthias/test.txt).LastWriteTime = get-date
2019-12-24-00:00")

Re: Setting Creation Date of file to a past date?
On Mac or Linux you can use the "touch" shell command - not sure if it's available on Windows. You can download the "Shell Command Help" LC plugin to simplify access to info about it.

Setting Creation Date of file to a past date?
Hi there I want to create/export some images from Livecode to fit into a slideshow that is sorted by creation date. It means that the files I export shall have a creation date of the past. So that when they are put into the folder of the slideshow, the images are placed automatically at the desired places.
