If I do that it will break new file scans.

How so? If 10 files get added (via file copy or ftp upload or binkp copy), one each over the next 10 days, then you run the massupload, it will look as if each of those 10 files were added on the same day. Whereas if you run a massupload with the file date rather than the run date, you will have a true date stamp for the file in the file list.

FWIW: RA has three dates in its files directory... the file's actual date,
the upload date and the last download date... part of my processing is to ensure that the file's actual date is as accurate as possible because some files when transferred with some methods get the date of download instead of carrying the original date... i fix them by setting the file's date to the newest of the internal files in the archive... some dates are irrevocibly
lost for files that are not archives or that i cannot look inside of...

I've seen some killer customized Remote Access systems over the years. Hell my own (I wish I still had it) looked like PCBoard more then RA.

Though I do love the interface of the RA style boards, (Hence my love for Ezycom I guess!)
