When items are previewed in NameCleaner, the results of the preview appear in the NameCleaner Report window. The left column indicates current file or folder names, and the right shows how they would be affected by a cleaning operation. If an error occurs with a particular file, it will be shown in the right column.
If Report Cleaning is checked, NameCleaner will also report on actual cleaning operations (this may not be necessary if a preview report has already been made). If Show Changes Only is checked, the report will only include entries where the new file name is different from the old one. If Store Report on Quit is checked, the report will be stored on disk between invocations of NameCleaner for later reference.
Click on lines in the report to select them, or click Select All to select the entire report. Click Cut, Copy, or Clear to perform these standard operations on the selected lines. Click Save As… to save the entire report to a text file in tab-delimited format.
Logging
NameCleaner allows cleaning operations to be logged in a separate file. This is an advanced feature, and will not be needed by most users. Its purpose is to allow plug-ins developed for packages such as XPress, PageMaker, Illustrator, and Freehand to fix links which were broken as a result of file name cleaning.
Click Log Operations to switch logging on. You will also need to specify a file in which operations should be logged. Click New… to create a new log file, and Open… to open an existing one. If an existing log file is specified, logged operations will be appended to the end of the file. If Show Changes Only is set in the Report window, only file name changes will be written out to the log file.
The format of the log file is described in a document available by contacting us. There may be a charge.
Note : Balloon help is available for all menu and dialog items.
