Detailed Changes Log
What's New in FileWatcher v2.8.1 - May 18, 2010 =============================================== * Polling of FTP locations now supported. What's New in FileWatcher v2.8 - March 26, 2010 =============================================== * Now can poll remote locations if file events do not occur (this happens when the remote system does not implement the file event API correctly). What's New in FileWatcher v2.7 - March 12, 2010 =============================================== * Now handles log files that don't have a full path specified. * Now the complete command line of each invoked command is added to the log to assist debugging. * Fixed double-click of settings file under Vista, W7. What's New in FileWatcher v2.6.6 - September 23, 2009 ===================================================== * New option to automatically process existing files when FileWatcher starts watching. This is very handy to pickup files that might have arrived while FileWatcher was not active. * Now logs more useful error messages when a command line fails. * New validation check that the command file exists, and now displays invalid command line options. What's New in FileWatcher v2.6.5 - September 18, 2009 ===================================================== * New %NAME% option to insert the filename without the path. * New option to log to file. * New option to ignore folder changes. What's New in FileWatcher v2.6.4 - September 17, 2009 ===================================================== * Changed %FILE%, %FILES% and %FILELIST% to use a list of options instead, with a single consistent %FILE% in the command line, as this is easier to understand. What's New in FileWatcher v2.6.3 - September 16, 2009 ===================================================== * Now automatically double-quotes %FILE% and %FILELIST% for you (%FILES% was already double-quoted). Historically these were not double-quoted - giving the user the freedom to append to the filenames within their batch file, however this has caused more confusion than it was worth! What's New in FileWatcher v2.6.2 - August 14, 2009 ================================================== * New option to Minimize the action being run - to prevent it interfering with the desktop. What's New in FileWatcher v2.6.1 - August 13, 2009 ================================================== * Now can cope with (fairly rare) filenames with leading spaces. What's New in FileWatcher v2.6 - April 22, 2009 =============================================== * If you are monitoring a network location, File Watcher checks to see if it has dropped out and automatically reconnects (it checks every 60 seconds). What's New in FileWatcher v2.5.9 - March 27, 2009 ================================================= * Now can insert %FILE%, %FILES% or %FILELIST% multiple times in the command line to cope with situations where the filename needs a new extension appended e.g. ".pdf" * Now records the exit code of each process. * When multi-file mode (%FILES% or %FILELIST%) is used, FileWatcher now processes all files together once the minimum time threshold has been passed. Previously these files would be processed separately. * Files are now processed in order of arrival. What's New in FileWatcher v2.5.8 - November 28, 2008 ==================================================== * Now copes with the (rather rude) situation of the monitoring folder being deleted. What's New in FileWatcher v2.5.7 - May 23, 2008 =============================================== * Directory names have been re-enabled. This will be an option in a later release. * Fixed bug with program crashing after trigger. What's New in FileWatcher v2.5.6 - May 22, 2008 =============================================== * Now excludes the list file from files that are being monitored. * Now adds a timestamp to each log line. * More logging information. What's New in FileWatcher v2.5.5 - May 14, 2008 =============================================== * Now tests the exclusive lock with a Read test, not a Read/Write test. What's New in FileWatcher v2.5.4 - May 7, 2008 ============================================== * New option to wait for exclusive file lock before processing a file. What's New in FileWatcher v2.5.3 - May 6, 2008 ============================================== * New debug message to show when files have not completely written to disk. What's New in FileWatcher v2.5.2 - April 21, 2008 ================================================= * New Help File with many examples, and improved GUI. What's New in FileWatcher v2.5.1 - March 7, 2008 ================================================ * /HIDDEN now hides to the icon area, and /MINIMIZE just minimizes. What's New in FileWatcher v2.5 - February 15, 2008 ================================================== * Now minimizes to task bar. What's New in FileWatcher v2.4 - November 19, 2007 =================================================== * Added the ability to watch updated and deleted files as well. What's New in FileWatcher v2.3 - November 16, 2007 =================================================== * Now checks if a file can be opened before allowing it to be processed. This eliminates the possibility of it being processed before the file has been fully written to disk. What's New in FileWatcher v2.2.2 - October 4, 2007 ================================================== * Fixed help file (readme.txt) not being shown from Help menu. What's New in FileWatcher v2.2.1 - June 21, 2007 ================================================ * Each running thread now shows a unique process id. * If %FILE% is used, only runs a single file at a time even if multiple files arrive together. * GUI now detects changes properly. What's New in FileWatcher v2.2 - June 20, 2007 ============================================== * Can now specify the file types to watch e.g. *.txt. * Can now specify multiple folders to watch. * FileWatcher now waits for a file to be completely written before triggering actions on it. * Fixed bug with detected filename sometimes having a spurious character appended to it. What's New in FileWatcher v2.1.5a ================================= * Added Manifest XML file for Vista, and fixed HTML Help error on exit. What's New in FileWatcher v2.1.5 ================================ * Removed warning message when multiple copies are run. What's New in FileWatcher v2.1.4 ================================ * Fixed help file location to readme.txt What's New in FileWatcher v2.1.3 ================================ * Help file was not opening - bug fixed. What's New in FileWatcher v2.1.2 ================================ * Now includes help file, and /F= and /G command line options. What's New in FileWatcher v2.1.1 ================================ * Now checks if watched folder exists before starting. * Program name and command line are now in two separate fields. What's New in FileWatcher v2.1 ============================== * Initial release! See http://www.datamystic.com for more details on FileWatcher
