Profiles allow you to maintain separate groups of settings. Changing a setting will only change it for the active profile and not for any others.
General Settings
- ToolBar
- New
- Rename
- Remove
- Import
- Export
- Clean
Create a new Profile.
A Profile stores its very own settings, so you can have multiple profiles that do entirely different things without interferring with each other.
Renames the selected Profile. Each Profile must have a unique name; you'll be prompted to change the name otherwise.
Removes the selected Profiles.
Imports a previously-exported Profile from disk.
Exports the selected Profile out to disk.
If you want to share a Profile, you should export it first.
Removes settings for any Method or Modifiers that are not currently active, potentially reducing the size of the selected Profile and resetting those Method/Modifier settings back to their defaults.
- Profiles List
The list of created profiles. Unchecking (removing the tick) from a profile will hide it from the profiles list within the main window.
- Allowed Modes
- Simulate
- Copy
- Move
- Delete
For safety purposes, allowed modes can be set on a per-profile basis. For example, if there's a profile that absolutely must not
move any of its processed items - for whatever reason - the Move
mode below can be unchecked. Doing so will prevent the Move mode from
being selectable when processing the profile.
Enable or disable item simulation.
This allows the simulation of items being copied/moved and the results are displayed in a list. This does not actually perform any copying, moving, deleting, or modification of any kind to the system and is highly recommended to be used as a test run to ensure the results are what you expect.
Enable or disable item copying.
This allows the source items to be copied to their destination.
Enable or disable item moving.
This allows the source items to be moved to their destination. This is essentially copies the items and then deletes the original (Source) items from disk.
Enable or disable item deletion.
Enabling this option will cause FileSieve to delete any items that match the currently-active Method.
Enabling the Delete to Recycle Bin
option will delete any matched items to the Recycle Bin as opposed to deleting them outright from disk. Please be aware that Windows will outright delete any files that cannot fit within the user/admin-imposed Recycle Bin size limit, if any.
- Conditions
- A network connection is present
Conditions are used for determining whether a Profile should be allowed to run or not; a Profile can only run if it meets all set Conditions.
Determines whether the computer is connected to a network.
- Run Applications Before/After Processing
Before processing begins or after processing has concluded, an application can be run (for whatever purpose); specify the application(s) within the textbox(es). Leave the textbox(es) blank to not run anything.
