Continuing the discussion from Call for ideas: what should be the next BinaryAge product? :
TotalFinder is cool, but the main feature, the tabs, is already present in the new OS X 10.9 (Mavericks). We like that Apple finally implemented tabs into Finder by default, but that also means serious hit for our business. The math is simple: in the future, not that many people will be interested in buying TotalFinder when they can get tabs for free from Apple. Also TotalFinder idea has been “cloned” by XtraFinder guys. They did a good job, competition is good, but for us it means competing with decent free alternative which is an uphill battle.
For existing users (and for myself) I want to keep TotalFinder compatible and up-to-date, but I also started looking into new ideas what could be built for you guys as our next product.
In BinaryAge we are a bunch of guys specialised in reverse engineering and hacking standard OS X apps/components. But we can do also pretty much anything else on the web, in system programming, games, you name it.
What software is missing in your life? Let’s discuss it!
I would really like to be able to ‘touch’ a file to change its last modification date - the info panel could perhaps be enhanced to include this …

Such things can be done via command line:
touch -mt 201404011200 file
Or if u want a gui, write a little apple script und add it to services: http://arstechnica.com/apple/2011/03/howto-build-mac-os-x-services-with-automator-and-shell-scripting/
That is how I would do it.
Anyway, having such a feature in info-panel would be very sleek.
Although in my cases I more often use the terminal for this, cause if I need to do it, I retouch more than one file at once.
