SAVE BUTT VERSION 1.20 README ------------------------------------------------- Several changes were added to Save Butt Version 1.20 prior to release which did not make it into the printed User's Manual or PDF file for the manual. They are outlined below in the section entitled "Changes Since the Manual was printed". The Help system is current with the release. CHANGES SINCE THE MANUAL WAS PRINTED: * The Include tab is now part of the normal view. * Add Applications and File Types was added to the Include tab. * The ability to delete files from the Save Butt File Locator was added. GENERAL TIPS **Tracking and Storing Files: If a file that you are interested in tracking with Save Butt is not being tracked: * Check to see that the application and file type for the file are listed in the Include tab. If not, use Add Application or Add File Type to add them to the list. If your file is still not being tracked, review your Drive Preferences: 1. Select the Drive Settings tab. 2. Highlight the drive with the checkmark. 3. Click the Drive Prefs... button. 4. Make sure that the file you want to track does not exceed the thresholds set in the Preferences screen. If so, change your preferences. Lastly, check the Exclude tab. Is the file that you are trying to track being saved into an Excluded directory? If so, save the file into a directory that is not listed in the Exclude tab. **Tracking Files If you clear a checkmark for a filetype in the Include tab for one application, Save Butt clears that file type for all other applications in the Include tab. **Deleting Folders If you delete a folder from Explorer, not all of the files may be recoverable. The files that will be recoverable are the files that have the file types listed in the Include tab. **File Size Save Butt defaults to 1MB as the maximum file size to save. Should you want to track larger files, please change the drive preferences from the Drive Settings tab. **Restoring Groups of Files Certain applications, like Quicken, when you exit or "Save" create a group of files, not just one file. Quicken for example, upon exiting, saves files of the type .qdb, .qel, .cfg, .qmd, .qsd, .gid, and .qdt. Save Butt does not support group restores. To restore your group of files, you will have to restore each of the files individually. **Sorting files Sorting by columns from the Save Butt File Locator can be done from any view in the pull down list except for "I want to see my recently changed or deleted files". The recently changed or deleted files list is a pre-sorted list based on the date and time of the modification or deletion. **Moving or Renaming Files Save Butt considers a move or rename of files as deleted files. KNOWN ISSUES: **Super Disk or Zip drives If you have a Zip or SuperDisk drive as either an A: or B: drive, Save Butt will not use them as Target Drives. **Floppy Drives Save Butt will not use a floppy drive as a Target drive nor will it tracks changes or deletions for files on floppy diskettes. **Rescan If any application or file type has been disabled from the Save Butt Include tab, upon Rescanning, Save Butt will detect those disabled applications and file types as "New" applications and file types. A message is displayed stating that X New File types and X New Applications have been found.
