 — Update all enclosed folders —
When checked, all folders contained in the dropped folder will also be
updated according to their contents.  If unchecked, only the folder
dropped will be changed.

 — Allow backdating of folder(s) —
Check this to allow folder dates to be changed to an earlier date.  If
unchecked, folder modification dates will never be made earlier.  Note
that checking this option may cause problems with some backup utilities.

 — Backdate creation date if needed —
If backdating is enabled, this option will prevent the creation date of a
folder from being later than the modification date.  That is, if the
modification date would be set earlier than the creation date, the
creation date will also be backdated to the same time.

 — Consider dates of folders too —
If this is unchecked, only the modification dates of files will be used
to set the date(s) of the folders.  If it is checked, folder dates will
also be used.  If backdating is on, this option is irrelevant.  That is,
a folder's date will be set (according to its contents) before it is
used for setting dates higher up in the hierarchy.

 — Show changes immediately —
This will also set the modification date of the parent folder of the one
that was dropped (it will be set to the current time).  This will force
the finder to display the updated dates of all the folders that changed.

 — Hints —
• Drag multiple folders to set them all at once.
• Command-period to interrupt while running.
