Added New Columns Columns Availables: Name, Path, Size, Type, Ext, Date Creation, Date Modification, Date Accessed, Attributes Added Variables for Substitutions. Columns and Dates: \N where N is the column number. if you write \1 the program will write the data item in the column 1. if you write \2 the program will write the data item in the column 2. More Specific: if in 'Search Text' you write 'XX' and in the 'New Text' you write '-Size \3 Ext \5-' the program will change the words XX by '-Size nnn Ext EXT-' where nnn is the file size and EXT the extension file. You can use \n for substitute by each data in any column. If you want to write the date text from the columns 6,7 and 8 (Creation, Modification and Accessed dates) there are this options: \6, \7 or \8, this will write yyymmdd (default), but if you want to be more specific then you can use: \6y, \6m, \6d, \6h, for write only the year, the month, the day or the time. Example, the modification file date (col 7) is 15 June 1972 at 12:15. if you write '\7d-\7m-\7y' the program will write: '15-06-1972' if you write '\7d\7m\7y' the program will write: '15061972' if you write '\7' then program will write: '19720615', by default the program will write in the format yyymmdd if you write '\7m-\7d, \7h' then program will write: '06-15, 1215' MP3 Tags (only for MP3 files) \A = Title (default) \AT = Title \AA = Artist \AB = Album \AY = Year \AC = Comment Example, if you write '\AY, \A' then program will write the 'Year, Title' of the sound.

Example, a 800x600x65K image, if you write '\GHx\GBBits' then program will write '600x16Bits'. Generate a Random Name \R = Random name (8 characters and numbers) \Rn = Random name (n characters and numbers, maximum 64) Current Date \D = Current Date (default in 'yyyymmdd hhmmss') \DY = year (yyyy) \DM = month (mm) \DD = day (dd) \DH = Current Time (Default in 'hhmmss') \DHH = Hour (hh) \DHM = Minutes (mm) \DHS = seconds (ss) Modified: Now when the Recursive Directories option is selected the program deactivates automaticaly the View Folders Option Rewrited the code for the ComboBox Rutines. v2.0.2a The language panel is resized correctly when the size of form is changed.
