- Handy tip when making text lists which are 'series': use the fill handle of Excel! For example you want to create customer001, customer002.... up to customer999... then type in customer001 in one cell and customer002 in the cell below, select both and drag the fill handle... then copy all the cells and paste them into Notepad and save this as a txt file to be used in the next step by Txt2dir.... simple and very effective!! You want a directory for each day of the year? Start by typing '1 jan' and '2 jan' into Excel... fill handle........Txt2dir.... and in no time your wish is completed. And so on.
- In order to open/view quickly an existing text file, you can use the file menu but you can also double-click on the file, either in the selection or in the source panel.
- Try not to use extremely long file names. A complete path can not be longer than 259 characters... but this includes the file name too! Take this into account when making your text lists.
- It is also a known issue that very long names are sometimes not copied well to CDs or other special media. Avoid using very long (more than 127 characters) folder names in these cases!
- If you have a huge text file and it contains a lot of empty lines then do not bother about removing them as Txt2dir will ignore them automatically.
- Click with the right mouse button on the selection panel to create or remove an empty folder.
