This is basically a CMM (Contextual Menu Module) that will touch a file, folder or even a volume in the Finder with various options more>> This is basically a CMM (Contextual Menu Module) that will "touch" a file, folder or even a volume in the Finder with various options. If you are at all familiar with UNIX you know that it features a "touch" command which sets the specified objects modification date/time to the current date/time. The Touch CMM does the same and more. Touch resets the creation, modification, last access and last backup dates of the object. Touch CMM also features an option called "Touch @ Noon" which sets the objects creation, modification, last access and last backup date/time to the current day and the time to 12 Noon. This is usually applied to software distributions for historical reasons on the Mac side. Lastly you can use "Touch Random" which will set the modification date forwards or backwards randomly several days in time. These last two options makes it easy to "set" a file or folder to a current or future creation date if you are testing backup or security software. TouchCM does not process sub-folders or their contents. You can however make multiple selections in a folder and touch them all at one time.
Mac OS 8.6 or later.
No longer hangs when touching more than 5 items at a time in the Finder (AppleEvent blocking issue).

Using the 4/128 rule might not be the best choice from a historic point of view. But as it was explained before, since there are no clear rules, and this one is the most scientifically accurate and universal for our times, not depending on the equinox in Paris, nor in Gregorian rules, I think the 4/128 rule is a good choice.
Enhancements:
- Bug fixes
