Re: Deleting files without touching a directories date
Date changes of folders are on a filesystem level (IIRC), so not much you can do about that, other than "backup" the current state, delete your files and "restore" afterwards. If I had to do this (I won't as folder dates are too volatile): - In Everything, select the foldernames ...

Re: Everything 1.4 or 1.5 Alpha for Win 11 Pro?
1.5 is faster than 1.4.
1.5 is stable, but 1.4 is even more stable.
If you ever happen to run into an issue, it gets fixed in no time.
My advice: Go for 1.5. There are so many new features to discover that will make your life easier.
