Cost and feature difference

File Attribute Modifier is SHAREWARE, you may try it for 11 executions. The PRO version features recursion and costs only US$21.95 which allows you to process all files in a folder, as well as files in that folder's subfolders.

How it works

The application processes files in the selected folder and runs a function to change the attributes. If the file has a problem, it is ignored and the filename will be shown in the status box.

How it was implemented

Software used:

• Visual C++ using MFC
• Adobe Photoshop 6.0
• Microangelo
• Windows ME/XP

Visual C++ was used to implement the actual program, while Photoshop was used for aesthetic purposes. The icon was developed in Microangelo. And finally debugging was done on the WinME/XP platform.
