Is there anyway to force my remote to accept the modification time of the local directories? Because when setdirmodtime was added as a feature I didn't bother to add --no-update-dir-modtime and I wish I had

Manual work is fine. this issue only arises for people updating to a new version of rclone and not knowing to use --no-update-dir-modtime

In other words only a few folders of mine have the issue.

Of course the problem with rclone touch is that it appears to only effect files not directories. Oh well.

Like I said in my last post, I am beginning to think this issue just cannot be solved, and is far too minor and niche for rclone to need to be updated to allow me to do what I wish here.

Thanks for trying though.

EDIT: There also appears to be this related issue already created that is related. Sync directory modification time and metadata on the root of the sync · Issue #7652 · rclone/rclone · GitHub In theory if that issue ever gets solved then my issue in this forum thread might also be solved. But it is again so low priority it may never happen and that is fine.
