- Changes since 1.3:
-
- 0. The signature is now officially registered (finally)! Unfortunately I got my
- third choice, which means the sig I was using on previous versions belongs to
- someone else. You should probably deleted all earlier versions of MailConverter,
- to be safe.
-
- 1. The two primary commands have been renamed:
-
- Open Mailbox ==> Convert File (the command key is now C)
- Open Directory ==> Convert Folder
-
- 2. The Append Mailbox command is gone altogether. Instead of this special
- command, you will now be asked if you want to append or overwrite if you
- select an existing mailbox for output.
-
- 3. There's one new command, Merge Folder. This will convert each file in
- the folder and write the merged results into a single output mailbox.
- NB: when you drag a folder onto the MailConverter icon, you will now
- be activating the Merge Folder command. Merge Folder is recursive - if
- it encounters a subfolder, the contents of that subfolder will be merged
- into the final destination mailbox.
-
- 4. Convert Folder is also recursive but in a slightly different way: if it
- encounters a subfolder, that subfolder will be handled with Merge Folder.
- These only seems special but in fact, the rule is simple: each subitem encountered
- by Convert Folder, whether that item is a file or a folder, will generate one
- mailbox.
-
- 5. One setting, Confirm On Overwrite, is now meaningless and has been removed.
-
- 6. There's a new setting, Default Input Folder, which does what it sounds
- like it does.
-
- 7. There's another new setting, Merge Dragged Files. If this is checked, and you
- drag multiple files and/or folders onto the MailConverter icon, the dragged
- items will be merged into one mailbox. If this is unchecked, each dragged item will
- have its own mailbox (ie, files will be handled as with Convert File, folders as with
- Merge Folder). If you mark all files in some folder (cmd-A) and then drag the whole
- lot to MailConverter, you will get functionality like Convert Folder if the Merge Dragged
- Files is unchecked, and functionality like Merge Folder if it's checked. Clear?
-
- 8. The type/creator attributes for the output files are now resources, which
- means you can change them if you want to with ResEdit. Eventually they'll be
- settings. The default output file type is still 'TEXT', the default
- output file creator is still 'CSOm' (Eudora's signature). These two are
- stored as STR#s in resource id 129 of the application.
-
- 9. MailConverter now handles BBN/MacEMail mailbox format. You should generally
- use Merge Folder for BBN/MacEMail, with a MacEMail mailbox folder as the
- input.
-
- 10. The Files menu has separator lines where it should.
-
- 11. The Settings menu has OK as its default.
