Hello,

I would like to suggest bringing back an option that existed in older versions of Bandizip.

When extracting archives, Bandizip currently preserves the original modification timestamps stored in the archive. While this is useful in many situations, it can make newly extracted projects difficult to find when sorting folders by date in Windows Explorer, especially for archives containing files from many years ago.

It would be very helpful to have an optional setting such as:

  • Use extraction time as the file/folder timestamp

  • Update the extracted folder's timestamp to the current time

This option would make it easier to identify recently extracted projects without affecting users who prefer to preserve original timestamps.

Thank you for your consideration.
