Best of all, version 2.0 is a free upgrade to all version 1.x owners. Version 2.0b31st July 2009The new version fixes a number of minor issues, including the auto-update feature which was broken in the first (two?) beta(s). Version 2.0 is a free upgrade to all version 1.x owners. Version 2.0b224th June 2009This new beta fixes a number of minor issues. Version 2.0b117th June 2009This is the first public beta of "The Big Mean Folder Machine" 2.0. Version 2.0 is a free upgrade to all version 1.x owners. Most of the changes for this release are under the hood, but there are a few user-visible changes:
Version 1.6.98th April 2009 This new version makes important speed gains and improves conflict resolution and memory management. Version 1.6.825th March 2009 Fixes the merge feature which became broken in 1.6.7. Version 1.6.725th March 2009 The new version improves the performance of reading EXIF digital camera meta-data and fixes the problem that lead to version 1.6.6 being pulled. Version 1.6.611th March 2009 - Pulled! This release was pulled because it appears to be affected by a bug in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. The new "Preserve original case wherever possible" option works correctly, but under some circumstances produces an incorrect preview and reports non-existant errors which can be confusing. A bug report is being filed with Apple (update workaround found!). The new version now allows the folders in newly created folder hierarchies to preserve the case of the original names that it contains. Beyond the user-visible changes there are many internal changes to further improve the performance and reliability of the processing engine. Version 1.6.524th February 2009 The new version delivers significant performance gains throughout. In typical scenarios the conflict resolution step is now up to ten times faster making for a much zippier experience. Version 1.6.411th February 2009 The new release becomes a 64-bit garbage collected application on all 64-bit systems. This should allow for improved scalability and reliability when dealing with very large processing jobs. Version 1.6.33rd February 2009 This new release significantly speeds up hierarchy creation and reduces the memory footprint of the application. Version 1.6.28th January 2009 Fixes a bug affecting the "split into hierarchies" feature introduced in 1.6. Version 1.6.17th January 2009 This is the first official Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard-only release of this title. This product right from the start used operating system features first introduced in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and then refined in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. As development went on, we hit many limitations of the Tiger implementation of those features that prevented us from delivering the rapid pace of improvements that we were targeting. In recent releases, a disproportional amount of effort went into maintaining backwards compatibility with Tiger and we've come to the conclusion that this time and energy would have been better spent moving the product forward at an increased pace. This first Leopard-only release contains only nuts & bolts changes that ready the product for more Leopard-only developments. Version 1.619th November 2008 The new version now remembers your settings between different sessions and allows you to create "droplet" mini-applications that store frequently used settings and allow you to re-apply them to the content of new source folders via simple drag & drop. Version 1.6 beta 117th November 2008 Adds support for creating self-contained droplet mini-applications that can be used to store and re-apply frequently used settings via simple drag & drop. Version 1.5.127th October 2008 Small fix for the MP3/AAC support. Version 1.522nd October 2008 The new version adds the ability to make the creation of deeper hierarchy levels dependent on the number of files on each level. It also restores MP3/AAC support for the splitting feature. Version 1.5 beta 217th October 2008 This beta restores MP3/AAC support for the splitting feature and fixes a few bugs in the first beta. Version 1.5 beta 18th October 2008 This beta adds the ability of making the creation of deeper hierarchy levels dependent on the number of files per level. It is released as a beta because it makes significant internal changes and there is thus potential for new bugs to have crept in.. we have tested the new version extensively but if you notice anything please let us know at reiff@publicspace.net so that we can fix it before the version goes "final". Version 1.4.523rd September 2008 The new version adds:
Version 1.4.128th February 2008 Restores 10.4 compatibility. Version 1.427th February 2008 Adds support for using id3 tags in mp3, m4a, m4b and m4p iTunes Music Store music files to split music collections by album, artist, etc. Version 1.3.530th January 2008 Improved performance, stability and scalability. Version 1.3.110th January 2008 This releases fixes Tiger compatibility which was broken by version 1.3. Version 1.39th January 2008 The new version now allows files to be moved as well as copied, thus greatly speeding up large batch jobs. This release broke Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger Compatibility and only worked correctly under Leopard. Version 1.2.112th December 2007 This update fixes two problems:
Version 1.229th November 2007 This new release focuses on stability, performance and scalability
Version 1.114th November 2007 This release addresses issues that were raised after the 1.0 release:
Version 1.010th October 2007 This is the first full release of this software. Version 1.0 Beta 312th September 2007 The third beta significantly expands the "Split Files into Folder Hierarchies" feature, by allowing you to define your own splitting criteria, based on the names or the time and date attributes of your files or digital photos. Version 1.0 Beta 214th August 2007 After our initial product name "Big Bang" seemed to already be taken, the icon and artwork for the renamed "Big Mean Folder Machine" is now ready. We hope you'll enjoy it! Version 1.0 Beta 120th June 2007 This is the very first public release of this product. |
Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Compatible 20th January 2010 Version 2.06 adds a fourth hierarchy level to the splitting feature.
