Version Info for SharePrep

 

Version 5.01 - 06/23/2019 - 

Implemented a new function Max Lengths which works with file names vs the Max Length value. Only the combined (path + file) lengths which exceed the Max Length value would be processed.

Implemented two new options:
    Shorten File Names only to Max Length 
    Process only if Exceeds Max Length

Version 4.02 - 05/15/2018 -

Implemented a window / set of functions for manually replacing given character strings via the main display window.  This provides for replacing stings within Selected items, Displayed items, All items within the given folder and includes simple Find and Replace functions.

 

You can choose to include SubFolders with the Replace All function.  This is designed to simplify your abbreviating common names within your files and folders.

Version 4.01 - 08/24/2017 -

The Scan and Repair window has been redesigned to give the user greater control. The new design incorporates a tabbed interface to access the various operational modes. The modes are:

File Names - Work with characters for File Names
Folder Names - Work with characters for Folder Names
File Lengths - Work with lengths for File Names
Folder Lengths - Work with lengths for Folder Names
Path Lengths - Work with lengths for Paths

Path compression - the Path Lengths processing is new with Version 4.01. This can be used to reduce path lengths to a given target length.

The Truncation option is being changed to a Shorten option which removes characters from the middle of the file name or subfolder name. For paths, the shortening is prorated based on the length of each subfolder name.

Version 3.07 - 03/25/2017 -

Modified the display function for the Scan and Repair
Window to significantly improve its processing speed.

This removes the bottleneck in both the Scan, Preview
and the Repair functions that occurred when the display
exceeded a few thousand lines.

Version 3.06 - 03/19/2016 -

Modified the "Change Path" function on the Scan and Repair
Window to "Switch to File / Fold".  As modified, the display is
switched to the Main Window with the designated File or SubFolder
selected in the right pane of the Main Window. 

Implemented a rename function on the Scan and Repair Window. 
Double-clicking a file / folder line in the display accesses the
rename function.

Implemented checkboxes for the Options Window. This replaces
the 'Ignore' Action selection and should prove more user friendly.

Version 3.05 - 09/13/2015 -

Revised the Save Display function on the Scan and Repair window
to implement saving the data as a Text file or a CSV file.

Implemented sort column function for Names and DateStamp columns.

Version 3.04 - 06/30/2015 -

Implemented a means for testing for Maximum Path Length separate
from Maximum (total) Length.

Revised the Scan messages to clarify their meaning.

Version 3.03 - 04/25/2015 -

Implemented a method for designating filenames to be skipped.
This became necessary for OneDrive sync folders containing
the file named '.lock' which displays as a problem file.

Implemented functions for importing and exporting the 'Options'
file and the newly implemented 'Skip Files' file. This should
be useful for the customers with multi-use licenses.

Version 3.02 - 11/19/2014 -

For the OneDrive users, added the option to check total Path + File length.

Changed the default Max Length to 259 to assist OneDrive users.

 

 Added the capability to use Multi-Select to select files for the Delete Function.

Version 3.01 - 07/24/2014 -

Implemented UniCode logic to enable processing of file and folder names
from other languages.

Modified the Reset function on the Options for Restricted characters
window to retain the user-added entries and reinstate only the installation
entries.  In previous versions, user-added entries were deleted by the
Reset function.

 

Added several entries in the Options for Restricted characters table.
The modified Reset function will add these for your use.

Enhanced the display of the character strings on the 
Options for Restricted characters
window to use a text background
to help the user see blank characters.

Version 2.05 - 11/11/2013 -

Improved navigation function for main window to include DoubleClick of
folder name in the right pane to navigate to that folder. 

Version 2.04 - 04/30/2012 -

Implemented functions to allow user to reorder the Options entries
in the Options Window. Removed the old style Drive Select control
from the main Window.  SharePrep now automatically opens the
previously open folder.

Version 2.03 - 05/05/2011 -

Removed requirement for Administrative privileges for normal execution.
SharePrep no longer requires "Run as Administrator".

Version 2.02 - 09/25/2010 -

for both the Auto Repair and the manual renaming.

Version 2.01 - 06/28/2010 -

Implemented a new version to include a limited number of
renames / deletes in the Limited-Trial.  Previous versions
were Demo-only.

Version 1.06 - 01/01/2010 -

Implemented a function for selecting a drive or directory via
the Windows "Select Directory" dialog. This includes the ability
to access drives via a local network.

Implemented logic to avoid processing the Vista/Win-7 directory
entries marked as "Mount Points". This had caused some problems
for users that had removed security settings for their "Application
Data" directory.

Version 1.05 - 09/11/2009 -

Implemented a Quick Start display.

Version 1.04 - 10/25/2008 -

and folder names.

of a command file and provides for use of an alternate options file.

 

These changes were made to accommodate the needs of 
non-SharePoint customers that execute SharePrep in their
routine cleanup functions. 

Version 1.03 - 09/01/2008 -
