ShareWatcher 2.5.11 is now released to introduce the new installer that had to be used (see earlier post). Just a reminder that the auto-update process will succeed in downloading the new version but, unfortunately, it will fail to install because of this installer change-over. Please download the newest ShareWatcher release here and install manually. Once installed, the auto-update will work as normal for any new releases.

New theme, minor restructure and product icon refresh.

• Forced Change to new Installer
• New Context Menu Option to add FileToFolder as a sub-menu for a CodeLine Menu Group
• Remapped Donate Button to new PayPal Account

New Context Menu Option to add QuickMove as a sub-menu for a CodeLine Menu Group.

For ShareWatcher, FileToFolder and ModemWatcher Users

Visual Studio is discontinuing support for their “built-in installer” so all older products are being forced to the InstallShield Installer. QuickMove is not affected.

This is causing hassles in a number of areas with the result that the easiest (for me) is to ask that when you are prompted, in the next few days, that a new version is ready for download, that you navigate to the relevant product page and:

1. Click Download from the CodeLine site (not the mirrors as they may not be current yet);

2. Make note of any of your settings and path locations (ShareWatcher) since these will be lost when uninstalling;

3. Uninstall the existing application using the “Uninstall” menu option or using Windows’ “Uninstall Programs”;

4. Install the download from point 1.

Apologies for the disruption of the “Auto-Update” process. Once you have been through this, the updates will return to being a simple click of the “OK” button.

• Always cutting and pasting the same types of files to the same folders?
• Always navigating deep folder structures to archive the same types of files?
• Wish you could just be prompted for a list of your favourite target folders?
• Wish that you could just “right-click” on a file and see it automatically moved based on rules learnt “on-the-fly”?

QuickMove has the solution!

Windows, by default, will allow a maximum of 15 files to be selected from within Explorer and “opened” or in the case of FileToFolder, folderised.

This can be changed in the registry by adding this:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]
"MultipleInvokePromptMinimum"=dword:00000064

where “00000064″ in this case is a decimal max of 100 files.

If you would prefer to just run a “Registration Entry” file to automatically add this into your registry, it can be downloaded here but be sure to backup your registry first.
