Mass file combiner help

 


So, you are downloaded many splitted file from somewhere with a bunch of parts.


You need to specify where are these (downloaded) files. Type the path in the text field below the "Source folder (crc and parts)" or browse it with the button right of the field.
Similar specify where the combined files be placed. Type the path in the text field below the "Target folder (combined)" or browse it with the button right of the field.

Next you need to analyze the source folder.
Press the Analyze button below the source folder field to do it.


If everything goes well, popup a grid with the following colums:
  • Splitted first file/crc name
    You see here the first part name or the crc name, if there was a crc file.
  • Combined file name
    If was a crc, this name maybe different than the splitted name, else this is the first part's name without .001 extension.
  • Parts
    You see here how many parts belong the combined file.
  • MB
    It's the rounded size of the combined file in megabytes.
  • Job
    Yes: will be combined
    No: not to be combine
    Progr: combining is in progress
    Done: this file was combined
    Canc: combining was cancelled when this file is in progress.
...double click on the row to change between the Yes and No (see the picture above highlighted).

Above the grid you see the following objects:
  • checkbox "Delete parts after combine": If you checked, the source parts will be deleted after the perfect combine. (In this case the delete isn't means copy to Recycle Bin!)
  • checkbox "Exit when done": If checked, after all combine was done, the software close itself.
    • (So, if you check both, you just start the process, go to the kitchen make a coffee or pizza, drink or eat it, and when you come back, the files are ready, the parts are deleted, the software exited. Sounds good, eh? ;) )
  • button "Combine all splitted file": when you are ready to go, just press this, and the process will be started. Of course it's combine the file, which has "Yes" status on the job column.
  • button "Reset form": If you want to edit source or target dir, just press this button, and you ready to start it again (enable all disable fields).



When the combine is in progress you see the actual file name on the title and on the lower-left side of the window you can see the actual part's name, and a progress bar.

Below the grid's center appears a big button "STOP ALL". In emergency just press it, and the combining will be stopped. If the actual file wasn't combined well, then the parts of it are untouched (even if checkbox "Delete parts after combine" is checked), and the incomplete target file will be deleted.


The state of checkboxes and folders are stored in the file "C:\multicombine.ini". So if you start it again, you see your last settings well.
