Rename Master Official Release

Version 3.17 of Rename Master has been officially released.

The main window has received some minors tweaks. The "Edit/View" menus have been moved to the File List that they manipulate. This makes more logical sense for mentally linking these menus because of their screen location.

Two of the Renaming Steps have been updated for flexibility. "Remove/Replace Before/After" is now "Remove/Replace Before/Between". The new Between option lets you easily remove or replace any arbitrary text between two phrases. The "Remove/Replace Expression" now has more options when removing text. When defining a Starting/Middle/Ending part, you can now remove these parts separately instead of only removing all of these parts. Logically, this means you can remove parts of a filename only if it also contains specific conditions.

There was a possible program freeze when looking up the Meta-variable tags for a MOV file. This has been fixed and a few new MOV variables are now supported (including v_qt_created/v_qt_modified dates). Also, other minor fixes are in this release.

ArsClip Official Release

Version 5.36 of ArsClip has been officially released.

This small update fixes an issue with the Popup and adds 2 features for macros. AC can now edit the clipboard using a case sensitive find/replace macro. Also, the KEY macro has been updated to add a REPEAT parameter, to execute the keystroke several times in a row.

ArsClip Official Release

Version 5.35 of ArsClip has been officially released.

For new features, the Filter (Search) feature on the Popup can no be configured to include Permanent Clips/Macros. Since the "Search and Paste" window has been deprecated, the Popup needed to replace the main features of this window. Also, a new JavaScript function has been added for making a Popup Clip "pinned".

Also, v5.34 introduced an error message that shows when running the program in the Program Files folder. The program now correctly detects Program Files installs, no matter the language setting of Windows, and will redirect writes to the AppData\Roaming\ArsClip folder.

ArsClip Official Release

Version 5.34 of ArsClip has been officially released. This release is all bug fixes and one tweak to the ArsClip.ini settings.

It's been a year since the last release of ArsClip. This isn't bad news, since AC is in a good place for flexibility. Currently there are only 2 new features planned for the next version. First, the Popup's Filter option needs an option to search Permanent Clips. Since the Search and Paste window has been deprecated, adding this feature will make the Popup feature complete as a full replacement. Second, there's no JavaScript functions for manipulating the Pinned Clips. This would allow for manipulating the Pinned Clips list just like the Popup Clips.

20 Year Anniversary

On the 26th of this month, it will mark the 20th year of this website. To put this in perspective, Windows 2000 and ME were the OSes that ArsClip and Rename Master were initially designed to run on. 800 x 600 was the common desktop resolution. High speed Internet was measure in Kilobytes/bits instead of Megabytes/bits. ArsClip early versions had about 1000-2000 lines of code and now has 70,000+ lines of code.

During this time period, I've received about 9000 emails for ArsClip and 5000 emails for Rename Master. There have been over 4 million downloads. User support has paid for the webhosting every year.

I thank you all,
