Editing the Bookmarks File

[Gelf]

I want to change the date of a folder in the bookmarks file.
If I open the file in Notepad++, I can see the folder and date added and date modified
But the date is shown as (for example) 13306760445741046.
Does anyone know what format this date is in?

@Gelf It may be The Unix Time Stamp

@Gelf It is the number of microseconds that have passed since January 1, 1601 00:00 UTC.

Here is a converter: https://www.epochconverter.com/webkit

And here are some code and formula solutions from StackOverflow:

@Gelf Wow! That is an old bookmark! Did they have the Internet back then?

@Pesala That is what made me look into it. It seemed highly suspicious that the bookmark would be created so close to Unix time zero.

The converter I linked to above gives the much more boring date September 4, 2022 10:20:45 AM, which is 1662286845 in Unix time.

@nomadic Many thanks! I figured it was some kind of distant cousin of Unix seconds, but wasn't sure exactly what.
