How it works
Any file type. Turn on Subfolders to go deeper, and filter the list if you need to.
Pick Date modified, Date created or both, then set them from the date taken, a date you pick or a shift in time.
Every file shows its old and new date. The dates change on the originals, and Undo last change puts them back.
