Utility can change file date/time stamps created, modified, accessed. You can set new date-time, relatively change date or time, copy one date-time stamp to another (created date=modified date), change the date but not touch the time, shift date from AM to PM and vice-versa, sequentially change date-time with user specified time step
With our utility you can set file date in a sequence in order to present files in the right order. Utility is for Windows only.
Renaming files and folders
AttributeMagic Pro can mass rename files and folders (including images, document files, etc.) You can add date-time stamps to the name of file or folder, add EXIF tags to the file name, convert file/folder name and extension to the upper or lower case, add file and folder size to it's name. Also you can replace or remove the part of file name or any string meta tag.
Changing attributes of files and folders
With our utility you can modify following file system attributes: hidden, read-only, system, archived, offline. Utility can set, reset, invert and copy one attribute to another.
Modifying properties of MS Office documents
Utility can modify metadata stored with MS Excel, MS PowerPoint and MS Word documents. It can change or clear following document properties: title, subject, keywords, template, author, last author, revision number. Date-time stamps of MS Office documents can be changed too: document created, last saved, last printed. Using AttributeMagic Pro you can clear (scrub) all metadata or only particular element.
Changing picture date and JPEG-EXIF metadata
With AttributeMagic Pro you can change EXIF date-time stamps: date picture taken, original, digitized. Also utility can change text fields in the EXIF data: make, model, description, artist. AttributeMagic can manipulate EXIF date-time stamps (mask, shift, AM to PM etc.) you can copy EXIF date-time stamp to the file date-time stamps: file created date=picture taken. An EXIF data can be added to non-EXIF JPEG files. Manipulation of EXIF Orientation tag is possible.
Usability
soring in natural order for file names and string metadata
preview result window helps you inspect changes
utility can process one file, folder or a group of files, folders, subfolders
recursive operations: process whole directory tree (or certain branch)
command line mode
print, save, export folder(directory) contents
powerful custom filters and templates to selectively stamp necessary files or folders
error reporting and logging

I'm looking for the civil engineering books (same in our forum) with epub format. Help please!
I try using many software (including Calibre) convert PDF books to epub, but after conversion the layout is almost different. The text under the figure are locate at different place. The figure and table locations are different from PDF book too. The result after conversion, the books become bad.

This book aims to further a better understanding of such mechanisms, and it is thus destined for an audience of ecologists, pedologists, agronomists and other researchers involved in earth surface science
Clays are the product of slow transformations of high temperature rocks into reactive, fine grained material. This material, once in the sphere of plant interaction, becomes highly reactive with transformation periods of tens to hundreds of years. The challenge of the future is to use these rapid responses to the benefit of mankind.

Employing a non-intimidating writing style that emphasizes concepts rather than formulas, this uniquely welcoming text shows consumers of research how to read, understand, and critically evaluate the statistical information and research results contained in technical research reports. Some key topics covered in this thoroughly revised text include: descriptive statistics, correlation, reliability and validity, estimation, h hypothesis testing, t-tests, ANOVA, ANCOVA, regression, multivariate analysis, factor analysis, and structural equation modeling (SEM). A number of mini-topics related to research and statistics are also discussed, such as the geometric mean, Tau-b correlation, Guttman split-half reliability, sensitivity, specificity, and the Sobel test. Additionally, the sixth edition also includes over 488 new excerpts (tables, figures, passages of text) taken from current research reports. Written specifically for students in non-thesis Master’s Programs but also perfectly suitable for students in upper-level undergraduate statistics courses, doctoral students who must conduct dissertation research, and independent researchers who want a better handle on how to decipher and critique statistically-based research reports.
Thoroughly updated and revised to reflect advances in the field, Reading Statistics and Research, Sixth Edition gives consumers of research exactly what they are seeking in this caliber of text, that being the knowledge necessary to better understand research and statistics, and the confidence and ability to ultimately decipher and critique research reports on their own.
