Utilities Program

• Truncate File Names - This program will make a copy of every file in a directory (but not in subdirectories of the original directory) and place it in a subdirectory called CBPFmodified under the original directory. The only thing changed with the copies is that the names will be shortened to the length specified in the Number of Characters field beside the button.

This utility was created mainly to allow for quick name modifications for those stores who download the picture files from the Diamond website. An example of the original name might be MAY070154_low_BRAVE_AND_THE_BOLD.jpg whereas the copied name would be MAY070154.jpg when specifying 9 character truncation or MAY070154_lo.jpg with 12 character truncation.

If the truncation would create a duplicate file name, a number beginning with 1 (and incrementing) will be appended to the file name therefore making the file name longer than the specified number of characters. An example would be MAY070154_lo1.jpg for a duplicate of the above file. A second duplicate would be called MAY070154_lo2.jpg. This feature will allow for 100 duplicates.
