What's new in Bulk File Manager 1.6
Sep 18, 2010
- Added file splitter/joiner.
New in Bulk File Manager 1.4 (Aug 11, 2010)
- Built the functionality CSharpShredder into Bulk File Manager.
- Can now securely delete files using 1s and 0s, random data, specify the number of overwrites.
- Added labels describing the current course of action in the file shredder.
- Will tell you which file is being shredded, what directory it is in, the number of the pass it is on, and the byte count of the current position of the file being overwritten.
- Added stop buttons to zero byte/empty dir scan and the shred function.
- Refactored some code to remove old, duplicate delegate methods
New in Bulk File Manager 1.3 (Aug 9, 2010)
- Rearranged buttons and labels, renamed some of the tabs (to make room for potential future expansion and to make it look better cross-platform where tabs may render differently).
- Added suffix radio button selection to the Prefix command, allowing file suffixes to be applied as well.
- Threaded the prefix/suffix, strip and replace functions.
New in Bulk File Manager 1.2 (Aug 5, 2010)
- Removed Beta designation
- Regex strip added (uses regex replacement functionality and replaces the regex
- statement provided with "")
- Deduplication thread priority moved to Deduplication Options tab
- Deduplication file collisions placed within split pane viewer (can be adjusted
- by dragging them in the middle, should now properly resize).
- All folder selection dialogues now load from the currently selected directory
- if there is one).
New in Bulk File Manager 1.1 (Jul 23, 2010)
- Added checkbox to allow for RegEx usage in "Replace Text in Names" function.
- Added new radio buttons to Deduplication options to change short-scan behavior:
- Can choose to scan the first 2 MB of a file that is over 2MB (Default).
- Can choose to scan the last 2 MB.
- Can choose to scan both first and last 2MB.
- This was done to allow for proper deduplication of certain "split" files if so desired as well as other unforeseen potential hash collision issues.
New in Bulk File Manager 1.0 (Jul 21, 2010)
- Added Zero Byte File and Empty Directory scanner
New in Bulk File Manager 0.9 (Jul 21, 2010)
- This will allow the user to select a directory to scan through (including, optionally, subdirectories).
- Then the user will select a directory that all the files that "match" the "Move if" rules will be moved into.
- The four "Move if" rules are: Filename contains, Extension contains, Directory name contains, and a Regex input (allowing virtually any rule to be created).
- A checkbox exists that will make the application attempt to delete directories that are empty after the move.
New in Bulk File Manager 0.8 (Jul 17, 2010)
- Deduplication Options tab
- You can now specify the extensions and directories to be excluded and which file extensions are always "Deep Scanned" (fully scanned, not just 2mb)
- Resizable Window
- Still has minimum width/height set, but can be maximized and looks (more or less) ok when doing so.
- License inclusion under Help menu
New in Bulk File Manager 0.6 (Jul 14, 2010)
- "ProgramData","cygwin" added to the "Do not scan" directories
- Do not scan directories can still have their subfolders selected to be scanned, but these root folders tend to collect dupe files for valid reasons.
- Left hand list box now has multi-selection enabled. This will enable you to select groups of duplicates to be deleted without having to delete them one by one or having to clear all the dupes out at once.
- This was mostly because in my testing I noticed (especially in 3d games) several programs have files that are duplicated repeatedly and deleting them may have adverse effects.
- All of the file name manager functions will no longer throw exceptions if you do not select a directory.
- This is close to a full release. I will probably be removing the beta tag soon enough. What remains now is mostly the need to put a log in so you can see IO Exceptions (they are currently filtered to the Status bar which changes frequently and only has one item to display).
