FileSeek v1.5.1 Released

Jon Tackabury — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 02:32:22 +0000

FileSeek v1.5.1 has just been released into the wild. This release is a quick maintenance release aimed at fixing a few minor issues. Here is a quick rundown on the changes:

Now shows an error if the path to search doesn’t exist
Status bar now says “x matches found” instead of “x lines found” (more accurate wording)
Now properly finds files with no extension
Fixed an issue with Windows Vista that prevented the registry entries from being created properly for context menu support

If you have auto-update notification enabled in FileSeek you will be prompted to download the new version, or you can just head over to the FileSeek page to download it.

FileSeek v1.5 Released

I’m very happy to announce the release of FileSeek v1.5 today. This release includes some important fixes, and a couple of new features. Most notably, the exclusion pattern is now applied to folders as well as files. For the complete list of changes I invite you to check out the change log.

I encourage everyone who is running an older version to update today. If you have auto-update checking enabled in FileSeek you will be prompted to update next time you use it.

FileSeek v1.3 Released

I’m happy to announce that FileSeek v1.3 was released this week. This new version adds sortable columns, the ability to copy selected results from the grid via the right-click menu and the number of characters displayed in the preview pane is now configurable in the options menu. Also, a number of bugs have been fixed as well, like the right-click “Open” command not working sometimes. This version of FileSeek and it’s installer are also fully signed for full Vista compatibility.

I urge everyone who is running an older version of FileSeek to download the new version today, and if you haven’t tried FileSeek why not give it a try. You can either download an installer or an archive with only the .exe if you want to take it for a test drive before installing. Happy searching!

FileSeek v1.2 Released

It has been 5 long winter months since the last FileSeek release, but v1.2 is finally here. This release brings some much needed features and has turned into the only search application that I rely on to find things on my computer. FileSeek is lightning fast and supports Regular Expression matching to perform more complex searches. With FileSeek you can specify a list of patterns to include in the search, and a list of patterns to exclude. For example, you can include “*.jpg|*.gif|*.png” and then exclude “test*.*”. This will include those 3 image filetypes, but it will ignore any files that start with “test”. Pretty neat, eh?

Portable Application Versions Posted

Do you wish you could use your favourite Binary Fortress Software application without having to install it? Perhaps you want to take it on a USB key to your friends house, or perhaps you just don’t like installing software. Well, now you don’t need to install anything. I have repackaged 4 of my applications as zip files so you won’t need to install them.

I will be updating some other applications very shortly, so if you don’t see your favourite listed here don’t worry. For everyone that does like to install an application before using it, don’t worry. The installer versions are still available and always will be.

Happy Downloading!
