- ExpPrint V1.4.2.0
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- ExpPrint is a Windows extension program that lets you easily print a
- listing of your files and folder contents directly from Explorer.
-
- You can print:
-
- - The files and folders that you select
- - A branch of the directory
- - Entire disk contents
- - File Name
- - File Size
- - File Type
- - Modified, Last Accessed, and Created time stamps
- - File Attributes
-
- ExpPrint has comprehensive sorting capabilities, and several options that
- let you tailor the content of the printout. You can also generate a text
- file that is suitable for importing into a spreadsheet to give you more
- possibilities.

-
- Note
- ----
- You might like to print this file so that you can easily refer to it
- during installation.
-
- You can re-read this file after installation by clicking the Start ->
- Programs -> JD Design -> ExpPrint -> Readme menu item.
-
-
-
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Installation
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Run the ExpPrint program (ExpPrint.exe) directly from your web browser (if
- you're accessing ExpPrint from our web site), or download it and run the
- program from your hard disk, or the supplied floppy disk (if you've
- ordered one with your registration).
-
-
- Setup will copy files to your computer and then prompt you for your
- registration information (which you can skip if you're evaluating it).
-
- The last step of Setup informs you that ExpPrint is installed and briefly
- tells you how to use it. If you're upgrading an existing version, setup
- may need to restart Windows.
-
- Installing under Windows 2000 or NT4
- ------------------------------------
-
- You need to run the installation from an account with Administrator
- privileges.
-
- Currently, the Start Menu, Program sub-folder is created under the user
- account who installs the program. This means that if you have to logon as
- Administrator in order to install, the menu items are installed only under
- the Administrator's Start Menu. To make the menu items available under
- your normal user account, open Explorer and move the JD Design sub-folder
- from the Administrator Start Menu/Programs folder.
-
- Administration Installation
- ---------------------------
-
- The installer supports "quiet" installation, for example:
-
- expprint.exe /Q:A /C:expprint.inf
-
-
- Files Installed by Setup
- ------------------------
-
- Setup copies the following files to a folder named shellext beneath your
- Windows system folder:
-
-
- ExpPrint.dll The ExpPrint Context Menu DLL
- ExpPrint.hlp Help for ExpPrint
- ExpPrint.txt This file
- ExpPrint.inf The Setup Information File
-
- For Windows 9x, this is likely to be the Windows\System\ShellExt folder.
- For Windows NT or 2000, this is likely to be WinNT\System32\ShellExt.
-
-
- Setup will also add relevant registry entries and Start menu items.
-
-
-
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
- How Do You Use ExpPrint?
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 1. Select the directory branch, disk drive, or the set of files you want
- to print in an Explorer window.
-
- 2. Right click on the selected items to display the context menu and
- choose the "Print Directory Listing..." item to display the ExpPrint
- dialog box.
-
- The main ExpPrint dialog box lets you configure the settings. Note that an
- unregistered version does not let you save or restore any settings, and
- prints an evaluation banner on the page footer.
-
- For more information see the ExpPrint help.

- 516923.
-
-
-
-
- When you receive your registration information, enter your registered name
- and number into the About dialog box. You can access this dialog from the
- Start menu shortcut, or from the main ExpPrint dialog About button.
-
- You must enter the information exactly as it appears. The case, spaces,
- and punctuation of the name are significant, and the number is composed of
- the characters 0-9, A-F and again, the case of the letters is significant.
- If you register the set of utilities, be sure to use the correct
- registration number for each product.
-
- You can check that registration has worked by re-displaying the About box
- from the main dialog. When the product is successfully registered your
- registration name is displayed in the About dialog rather than the entry
- fields.
-
-
- Updates
- -------
- Any updates to the current version are free to registered users by
- downloading the latest version from our web site. Your current
- registration number will continue to work with updates.
-
-
-
- Problems?
- ---------
- Q. The "Full Path Name" check box doesn't do what I expect.
-
- A. This facility is only really useful when printing the search results
- from the Find Files window. For normal use, leave this unchecked.
-
- ---
- Q. ExpPrint's printed file name doesn't match what I see with Explorer
-
- A. Windows Explorer adjusts its displayed file names so that you don't
- normally see all upper case file names. ExpPrint does not duplicate this
- behaviour, hence you may see cosmetic differences in upper/lower case
- naming. Also, when ExpPrint uses the "Print Full Path Name" setting, it
- gets the displayed name by an alternative method, so you may see some
- differences with this setting too. You can verify the correct name of a
- file by using the DIR command from an MS-DOS prompt under Windows.
- Internet Explorer 4 has a setting that disables Explorer's upper case file
- hiding - see the View, Folder Options dialog, View tab, Allow all
- uppercase names, check box.

-
- Removal
- -------
-
- Note: Because the Windows INF de-installer cannot currently delete files
- that are loaded in memory, we recommend that you first reboot your
- machine. Then, remove the component without first using it. This will
- ensure that the files are correctly deleted.
-
- Use the Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs item and choose the ExpPrint
- item (listed as "JD Design ExpPrint (Remove Only)").
-
- Revision History
- ----------------
-
- V1.4.2.0 1 Feb 2001
- --------------------
- Correction to support numerical output of file sizes in locales that use Indic
- grouping of numbers 12,34,45,789.
- Prevent the ExpPrint menu option appearing on the Start button context menu.
-
- V1.4.1.8 28 Nov 1999
- ---------------------
- Cosmetic adjustment to properly align the size header with the column data.
- Changes to improve installation/registration and documentation.
-
-
- V1.4.1.7 18 Sept 1999
- ----------------------

- it a little easier to enter the number. Updated the home page URL and
- added a mail link.
-
-
- V1.4.1.6 27 June 1999
- ----------------------
- Introduced a minimum space between the name and size columns. This
- prevents the file name running into the size figures.
-
- Fixed a typo on the main dialog.
-
- V1.4.1.5 8 June 1999
- ---------------------
- Added support for new attributes introduced with Windows NT 2000. Added
- the "Skip Unlisted" check box to exclude folders that don't get expanded
- when the "Max sub-dir depth" limit is reached. With this check box off,
- sub-directories that aren't fully listed are printed with a *. With this
- check box on, those entries aren't listed at all.
-
- V1.4.1.4 30 January 1999
- ---------------------------
- Minor change to allow international registration names.
-
- V1.4.1.3 January 1998
- ---------------------
-
- Minor - no change in functionality.
-
- V1.4.1.2 December 1998
- ----------------------
-
- Rebuilt and updated documentation to reflect the self extracting installer.
-
- V1.4.1.0 November 1998
- ----------------------
-
- Added the "None" formats to the date & time combo boxes to provide a
- proper method of inhibiting the time or date fields. Added a space
- character to the size column format so that the right aligned size column
- doesn't run into the left aligned column that follows it.
-
- V1.4.0.1 August 1998
- --------------------
-
- Bug fix. Prior to this version, if you printed the contents of a
- removable disk, and removed the disk, it could give rise to Explorer not
- being able to launch any programs from its Start menu. This version fixes
- this problem, which is easily avoided in earlier versions by leaving the
- removable disk in the drive.
-
- V1.4 August 1998
- ----------------
-
- Added support for colour selection of the fonts - you can now print the
- header/footer, body, and folder texts in their own colours.
-
- Modified the footer printout slightly. The tab separator between the page
- number and time combined with the right alignment gave rise to truncation
- in some situations. The separator is now 4 spaces.
-
- V1.3.1 July 1998
- ----------------
-
- Fixes a minor problem where printing to a text file continues when you
- have an empty (or invalid) file name.
-
- V1.3 March 1998
- ---------------
-
- Enhanced indenting to give more flexibility. You can now indent as before
- (Directories only), indent files, or you can double indent by setting both
- Directories & files. See the help topic for a more graphical explanation.
-
- ExpPrint now uses the standard system date & time formats in the date &
- time combo boxes, rather than using its own preset defaults.
-
- V1.2 January 1998
- -----------------
-
- Added the reverse sorting facility.
-
- Changed the simple "Process sub-directories" setting to a "Sub-directory
- depth" entry. This gives you control over how many sub-directories are
- processed, so that you can choose to only list the top 'N' directories.
- Note that directories that aren't listed in full will print with a "*"
- marker after their name to indicate that their contents are not printed.
-
- Extra font settings for headers & footers.
-
- Better optimisation in the use of the right aligned space left by the
- size column.
-
- Indenting now applies to text file as well as the printed output.
-
- Heading output to text file.
-
- Changed logo & added the cosmetic bitmap display to the context menu
- for easier indication of the ExpPrint menu item.
-
- Fixed a few minor cosmetic problems.
-
- V1.1 October 1997
- -----------------
-
- New registration system.
-
- Full path name option for use with Explorer's Find Files facility.
-
- The page footer now prints the page number, and date & time at the right
- hand side of the page, rather than centered, so that long paths aren't as
- easily overwritten.
-
- Specific indication of system time & date setting facility in the time &
- date drop down combo boxes.
-
- Fixed a quirk with user entered time & date formats - non default entries
- were lost when ExpPrint was restarted.
-
- Fixed potential quirk in keyboard handling when controls are disabled.
-
- This version is larger than prior versions because it no longer uses the
- MFC DLLs that V1.0 used.
