Desktop Sorter is software that I wrote to sort the files on my desktop.
At first, Desktop Sorter was a bunch of hard to work with batch scripts.
Then, I started to turn them into an easy(er?) to use program, and that's where Desktop Sorter 2.0 came from.
Desktop Sorter 3
It's been a while since I updated Desktop Sorter, and well, I thought it needed to be updated.
So now there is a new version of Desktop Sorter, version 3.
System Requirements
The system requirements of version 3 are similar to version 2:
- Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Vista
- Microsoft .NET framework 2.0 or higher. (Windows Vista and 7 has .NET built in. Windows 8/8.1 will prompt you to install .NET) Get .NET framework Here
- About 2MB of hard drive space.
What's New
Here is a list of what is updated/new in version 3:
- Almost completely re-written from the ground up.
- All sorting functions are integrated, no longer needs sort.exe to sort files.
- Misc. sorter is back!
- Fixed bug where your settings would get erased after update.
- A help file!
- More stable.
- New way of indexing files.
- An index browser to look through indexed files.
- Improved updating system.
- Re-worded a bunch of text.
- A progress bar to show sorting progress. (Because of integrated sorting)
- Added some more extensions.
- Re-made icon.
- Only sortable file types are selectable.
- Saves per-user settings.
- An options menu.
