Directory Toolkit Funduc Software, Inc. Copyright 1996-2010, All Rights Reserved http://www.funduc.com http://www.searchandreplace.com Thank you for your interest in Directory Toolkit! Directory Toolkit for Windows (shareware) - A multipurpose directory and file utility that provides features missing from Windows NT/2000/XP Pro & Home, Windows 2003, and Windows Vista (all versions). It displays single directory lists or side-by-side directory comparisons using color coding for alike, different, or missing files. Directory comparisons can be based on dates or a binary file analysis of actual file content. You can copy, move, & rename files while retaining long filenames and six built-in synchronize functions simplify updating directories. Built-in archive functions, with Explorer shell extensions, let you create & manage ZIP archives from Explorer and Directory Toolkit can serve as your primary archive manager for supported archives. File operations (copy, move, delete, rename) and directory comparison functions work seamlessly on files in archives, e.g., no need to manually extract files first. Other features include Explorer compatible OLE drag n Drop; Split/Concatenate files to/from diskettes; Encode/Decode UUENCODED, Base64(MIME), Binhex files (Decode also includes quoted-printable, 7 bit unencoded, & plain text); An integrated file comparison viewer for a color coded display of the actual differences in files; Safe physical sort of directories; Touch files (change time/date stamp); Find duplicate files on a drive; Open files and launch applications; Multiple include/exclude file masks and the ability to include/exclude files based on size and date; Command line switches to automate comparisons & synchronize operations via batch files; User configurable output file and print function to create reports of single and comparison directory lists; Automatically detects & runs (optionally) setup programs in archives; File numbering during rename, move, & copy operations that allow you to number files sequentially based on adjustable sort order and a user defined starting value. Cost: $25 Features in v 2.4-6.5 include: - Improvement to .dto function - Unicode script files are now supported - TAR file headers contain a corrected flag - Unicode handling in file paths - 'Check for Updates' function (Help Menu) - Improved file compare - Additional support for Windows Vista - Unicode support throughout the program - 32-bit and 64-bit (x64) versions now available. - Non-native file operations (including via drag and drop) now set the creation date of the target to the same date as the original file(s) - Removed requirement in Options|Compare that one of the 'Display Identical or Different' files choices must be selected. - 'New Folder' function to the Folder Tree in one directory mode. - User configurable double click action for highlighted files.
