• Date modification. BulkFileChanger allows changing the creation, modification, and last access dates of multiple files simultaneously. You can set a specific date or add/subtract a time interval to existing dates.
• Attribute changes. The tool adjusts file attributes such as read-only, hidden, system, and archive. Changes are applied in bulk to all selected files.
• Command execution. BulkFileChanger can execute external commands or applications on the processed files. This includes opening, editing, or any user-defined action.
• Advanced filtering. The program includes options to filter files by name, extension, size, or date before applying changes. This allows selective operations on subsets of files.
• Listing generation. Creates detailed lists of files with their attributes, dates, and paths. The information can be exported to formats such as CSV or TXT for later analysis.
• Explorer integration. Allows dragging and dropping files from Windows Explorer directly into the program interface for processing.
• Content modification. Although it does not edit the internal content of files, it can alter metadata such as comments, tags, and specific properties in supported formats.
• Path operations. The tool can extract full paths, filenames, or directories, and perform operations based on these paths.
• Change preview. Before applying modifications, it shows a preview of scheduled changes to prevent unwanted alterations.
• Command line. BulkFileChanger supports command line parameters to automate processes in scripts or scheduled tasks.
• Supported languages. The interface is available in multiple languages, including Spanish, English, and others, through external translation files.

BulkFileChanger was developed by Nir Sofer, founder of NirSoft. The program was initially released in 2011 and is written in C++. NirSoft specializes in portable tools for administration and diagnostics of Windows systems. The application does not require installation and is distributed as a standalone executable.
