About Comicsort

v3.0.3 (November 1, 2003)
* Someone pointed out to me that PAR2 files caused ComicSort to hang
(thanks! You know who you are ;) This has been fixed
* double launch and double check of multiple par files disabled
* Corrected version number at the start of this readme file
- added option for marking directories with incomplete sets with a custom string
- full path display added at the top of the main screen
- added option to leave PAR files for complete sets (so you can delete them if you want)
v3.0.2 (November 2, 2002)
* lauching files from the CRC checklist now works correctly again
* fixed a bug that occured when the first file of a set was corrupt
* removed a lot of unneeded 'error' messages from the error.log.
* improved cleanup of empty directories for the Undo function.
- added version info to the error.log
v3.0.1 (October 22, 2002)
* fixed a bug with the animation file not being present and an uneeded dll being requested
v3.0 (October 21, 2002)
- Par Support.
- optional par file launch if so needed for a given fileset.
- Undo last move operation.
- advanced editing of generated directory names.
- option to not move sets without CRC under a specified size.
(i.e.: Sets with less that x files are not moved into a separate dir)
- option to move corrupt files into separate subdir
- can now select CRC file based sorting and filename based sorting separately
- added help file (including typos I guess, let me know!)
- some small things I cannot remember anymore.
* few typos
v2.1.5 (July 19, 2002)
* comment lines in MD5 files now also supported
* When filenames in CRC file contains spaces, Comicsort will now also look for files with
underscores instead of spaces.
("file with space.gif"="file_with_space.gif")
* Fixed erroneous CRC errors caused by lowercase CRC information.
v2.1.4 (April 24, 2002)
- Commandline parameter /check starts a full CRC check on the entire directory tree.
"Comicsort.exe D:\Dirname\ /check" will start this check in the directory D:\Dirname.

* Commandline parameter /run now works (starts the move operation immediately after
the start of the program)

* Directories ending with a space or period would generat an error. These directory
names are now changed into an allowable name.
(i.e: "c:\Dirname.... " will now be "c:\Dirname")

v2.1.3 (April 23, 2002)

- Double clicking on a file in the CRC results list launches that particular file

- Option: launch PAR files before moving.
If you have a par checking program installed like SmartPar, this will repair any gaps in the set before sorting the files.
- Option: Perform duplicate CRC checks.
When more CRC files are present for a given set of files all CRC files will be used to check the files. This will results in duplicate entries in the check report.
- Option: Show icons for the CRC filetypes in the results list.
- Option: Error messages for non-movable files
- Option: Generate a detailed error message when moving a file fails.
- Option: Generate an Error.log
* changed color of the email address in the aboutbox
* clears CRC checklist when restarting
* resets progress bar when starting a new operation

v2.1.2 (not released)
- Optionally shows CRC check results while moving files.

v2.1.1 (not released)
* now stores the "Run full CRC check" option correctly.

v2.1.1 (April 18, 2002)
- Optionally shows CRC check results while moving files.
* now stores the "Run full CRC check" option correctly.
v2.0.1 (April 17, 2002) (First major release)
- Possibility to check all CRC (SFV,CSV,MD5) files in an entire directory tree.
- Missing files list contains information about number of moved files.
- Save reports of such a check.

- New options screen with some extra options
(Take a look)
- Possible Contex Menu entry for ComicSort(TM) to start ComicSort(TM) in that folder.
- Options can be saved in INI file
- save Window positions on shutdown.

- ComicSort(TM) can do a CRC32 or MD5 check on files.
When moving files based on CSV or SFV or MD5 files, the files are checked before moving. The missing files file ('MissingFiles.txt') includes information about CRC mismatch.

* CRC files with different names for the same set of files are now put in the same subdirectory
* Command line option "/check" changed to "/run"

v1.1.3 (March 29, 2002) (I should test a bit more before releasing)
* The missing files list was also put into a subdirectory. That was not my intention. Fixed.
* using only a subdirectory as a command line path caused an error. Fixed.

v1.1.2 (March 29, 2002)
- Updated the speed and refreshing of the application a bit.
- First Web release.

v1.1.1 (March 28, 2002)
- Command line options now include:
a pathname for the path where comicsort should start
/check - to start the check immediately

- If no appropriate files listed in a CRC file are found, the CRC file can optionally be put in the subdirectory '-=CRCFiles=-'

- A list of files that were listed in the CRC files but were not found can optionally be generated ('MissingFiles.txt')

- Optionally the moved CRC files can be launched. If a file association for the CRC files exists the appropriate programs will be launched.
WARNING: if a lot of CRC files exist, this may be a time intensive procedure, since ComicSort™ will wait until each launched program is closed.

- A progress bar is added so you have some idea how ComicSort™ is coming along.

v1.1.0 (March 25, 2002)

- ComicSort™ by default now uses CRC files (md5, sfv, csv) for sorting comics. This may have strange effects if more than 1 CRC file is present for a different comic with different names, but this is rare. After sorting by SFV files the remaining files are sorted as usual.

- Added an about box (click on the small bird)

* Par files were not correctly sorted due to the numbers in the extension.
This has been fixed.

v1.0.3
* a CRC file created on a MAC could cause an error for ComicSort™. This has been fixed.

v1.0.2
- Handling of file series named:
NAME-#-01
NAME-#-01-02
NAME-#-02
has been improved.
- Reading of comicname improved for low comicnumbers

v1.0.1
- Added F5 refresh option to all dir windows

* Fixed a small bug placing files that did not have a pagenumber

v1.0.0
- Initial Release
