I use it in few places, do you recommend me to use or not use it? And do you know a way to detect what cause this memory leak?

[guinness]

Remove it, as this function just hides memory leaks. How to detect? Going through the code working out where handles aren't closed etc.

I'll check the code

DropIt version 4.7 beta is available!
http://www.lupopensuite.com/files/dropi ... rtable.zip

Your help to test it is welcome, to complete and fix the release.
I'll write to all translators one of the next days.
Let me know!

You want me to fix it? As stated before, I've moved on from DropIt development and don't have enough free time to help either.

Don't worry if you don't have enough time, I understand (it's the same for me).. I'll check memory leaks in these weeks..

I made the last minor changes and wrote to the translators to help me with language updates.

If you would like to help me, these are language changes and the English translation:

Edit: fixed link!

About the modifier "s--(s1,s2)" and "s-(s1,s2)" issues, could you test them with a "Copy" action instead of a "Rename" action?
Only a test, because me and Daneel are not able to replicate the issue and it may has a different reason.

Have tested>>>
Action: Copy
Roole: *.*
Tested file name and location: D:\Temp\abcdefghijklmno.txt

Destination Roole1: D:\Temp\%FileName% (so no modifiers)
Result: "D:\Temp\abcdefghijklmno\abcdefghijklmno.txt " whas created

Destination Roole 2 (with modifiers): D:\Temp\%FileName#s--(b,g)%
RESULT: the dialog window "the file ...... exists in the destination" with options of cancel, overwrite or rename. It means the destination "D:\Temp\" becouse i have deleted the new created "\abcdefghijklmno\abcdefghijklmno.txt "

Destination Roole 3 (with modifiers): D:\Temp\%FileName#s-(b,g)%
RESULT: The same as on ROOLE 2. It means the destination "D:\Temp\" becouse after roole 2 was not created an "\abcdefghijklmno\abcdefghijklmno.txt "

Is this the test You need? or shell i use some other destination Roole?

[Lupo73]

I replicated your tests with both Rename and Copy actions and they work fine.
Important note: in Move and Copy actions you define a destination folder and not a destination filename.

Dropped file: "abcdefghijklmno.txt"

Copy action:
Destination 1: D:\Temp\%FileName%
Result 1: file copied in "abcdefghijklmno" folder.
Destination 2: D:\Temp\%FileName#s--(b,g)%
Result 2: file copied in "cdef" folder.
Destination 3: D:\Temp\%FileName#s-(b,g)%
Result 3: file copied in "bcdefg" folder.

Rename action:
Destination 1: %FileName%
Result 1: file not renamed.
Destination 2: %FileName#s--(b,g)%
Result 2: new file name "cdef.txt".
Destination 3: D:\Temp\%FileName#s-(b,g)%
Result 3: new file name "bcdefg.txt".

If you think that version 4.7 includes several good improvements, you will love the next version 5.0 I'm developing!

This is a preview of the new "Processing" window (previously known as "Sorting" window):

Hey Lupo73,

Just downloaded v.5.0 and took it for a spin... Looks very nice and compact

Guess which function I went to test first? Yes, you guessed right, the file numeration (http://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/ ... 419#p62419)... Unless I am doing something wrong, something went haywire... All files get the extension replaced by %FileExt%

And the numbering seems to happen in the same way as it happened in previous versions (so the 1st file does not get any number, the second gets the 01, and so on...).

Please note that I ran v.5.0 without the settings.ini (which got created point by point with a configuration identical to the one I used in previous versions). This to emphasize the fact that I did not use the settings.ini file created by a previous version.

Thanks in advance for your feedback

[Lupo73]

I didn't improved the numeration support yet, so it is normal that works as previous versions. Instead, can you describe me the %FileExt% issue? And can you write me the destination you use?

Edit: problem found and fixed

[spicydog]

problem found and fixed

Excellent

Kindly advise when and where is possible to download the fixed version.

Any ETA on the numeration support?

Thanks!

[Lupo73]

http://www.lupopensuite.com/files/dropi ... rtable.zip

Changes from the previous update:
- improved main context menu and Options window
- added %Counter% abbreviation

Hey Lupo,

I'm actually new to DropIt here and it's an amazing application! I especially love the integrated 7zip functioning! I have hit a limitation in it though. It seems that if you're doing something like compressing logs it doesn't seem to continue to add new logs into the same zip.

ie. I've created an association to do the following -

*.*
compress
d:\logfiles\application logs\logs-%DateCreated%.zip

It will grab all the current logs at that time but any new logs created on that day it won't then continue to add into the existing .zip file.
