Change the date/time stamp on a /file folder?

RouterOS General
1

One of my RB941Ui-2HnD devices happens to have a /file folder (the "skins" folder) with a datestamp in the year 2106 :roll_eyes:. The folder is empty. I do not use WinBox skins.

Is there a RouterOS equivalent of the UNIX "touch" command to change the date/time stamp of this folder so that it doesn't always sort to the top of the list in date-descending order :sweat_smile: ?

(I could delete it and re-create it, as it's empty [I've read that WinBox might complain if skins/ is just totally missing, even if I don't use skins in WinBox?], and that would mostly work, as it would age out, but it would be better to be able to set it to a specific date/time stamp).

thanks,

Delete and recreate, what's the problem?

To have a folder or file at approximately the desired time,
change the time on the RouterBOARD,
create the file or folder,
then reset the current date and time or wait for NTP synchronization.

Change source of hallucinations.

:laughing: Okay, I should have written, I took away, in my own understanding of reading actual source posts, from posts in this forum by people who had deleted this folder and then found that WinBox malfunctioned, that possibly deleting the folder could cause a problem. No hallucinations on my part; possibly long-past hallucinations on the part of people who made those particular reports!

sigh, "touch" would be so much easier. But, clever workaround.

(I've just deleted the skins/ folders. It doesn't seem to actually matter).

thank you,

Actually, I said to change the source, not that they were yours... :wink:

Hey! I like my hallucinations! They're so much nicer than reality sometimes....
