Version 4.17 now available... YAY!
Yes, fellow ARenHeads, 4.17 is in the stores now--OK, it's here on this website anyway, and it looks to be another winner. Lots of user interface improvements, some date stuff that's been needed, and more love for the scripters among us.
Excuse me, I've got something I need to do now...
Best,
DF

Yay indeed!
And I can confirm that it does let you change dates for files and folders!

It took me a minute, but I'm really liking the new load batch context menu. I may be able to only have one instance of ARen open now... we'll see. Also, it contains an "overwrite ..." that may actually allow me to save v4 .aren files now, even with my wonky Windows install. Haven't tried it yet, but fingers crossed.
Unfortunately, there's (apparently) still no way to change the created date on a folder in the folder list. I'm hoping for the near future though.
The item.newCreatedDate does work great with files, for those that need that functionality. And app.formatDate() is crazy-neat. The new find functionality is good, although I'd really rather have the script methods link to my program editor (where I have a crap-ton of search/replace options). But I'm still hoping Kim will do that someday...
All in all, a stellar update, in my obviously-not-so-humble-opinion!
Best,
DF
EDIT: Randy, were you able to change folder dates on folders in the folders list? Under what circumstances? Did I miss that? END EDIT

Yes, I was able to change the created date (as confirmed in "Windoze Exploder" and in the folder properties dialog).
I loaded a single "base" folder and then ran the simple script:
item.newCreatedDate = '2022-09-10 21:25:33'
item.newModifiedDate = '2022-09-10 21:25:33'
Haven't tried much more as I'm working through my own problems with 4.17, which I *hope* only affect the portable version.
