How
to use “Scan”:
1)
Go
to the folder where the files you want scan. All files will be listed in the
file list window. Unless you are using filters. Adjust the filter to the desire
file type or leave it as “*.*”.
2)
On
the “Dir” tap select the folder where you want the corrupt files to be move to.
3)
Press
the “Scan” button to begin scanning. Once the process start you can not stop it
until it finish.
How
corrupt image detection works:
The
method I use gives a fairly reliable way to detect corrupt image file, but it’s
not perfect. Some bad files will slip through. You will also find that some of
the files that have been determined to be corrupt could possibly be still
viewable in other image viewers. This is because other image viewers choose to
ignore error bits and continue to displace the rest of the image.
Every
image has termination markers at the end of the file. The detection feature in
my app check for the correct markers. If the markers do not match what we
expect them to be, that image is considered corrupt.
File
always flow from "New" to "Old" or in other words from
source folder to the destination folder.

This
feature allows you to rename multiple files at once. It is very useful when you
have multiple files with similar names. Select the file or files you want to
rename. Characters can be appended to the front (Prefix) and/or back (Suffix)
of the file name (this does not change the extension). To change the extension,
enter characters into the Extension field (no “.” character this will be put in
automatically), else leave it blank. To removing character pattern from the
filename and extension, simply enter the character pattern to be removed, else
leave field blank
For
example:
Original File Name: picture.jpg
Remove Characters
You want to remove: ture
Append Characters
You add Prefix: Test_
And Suffix: _123
And Extension: <BLANK>
The
Resulting file name: Test_pic_123.jpg
Note:
1)
If you don’t want to add or remove character(s) to your file simply
leave the field(s) blank. In other words, if you do not want to change that part of the file
name leave it blank and the original will be preserve. Be careful, space
character(s) are treated like any other character. Make sure the field is truly
blank.
2)
One
of the selected files will be shown in a text box near the bottom of the dialog
box. This is for your convenience to copy the desire character pattern into the
clipboard.
3)
If
a duplicate file name is encounter, the original file will not be rename. No
other message will appear. If a file does not rename it means another file
already has the same name.
1)
