Description
Fileaze is a batch tool for recurrent file manipulation tasks. It allows you to execute sequences of operations on a collection of files gathered from folders, FTP servers, e-mail attachments and web pages. Fileaze can copy, move, rename, delete, change attributes and dates of these files. It supports text replacement, zip/unzip operations, encryption and decryption of collected files and it can also upload them to FTP servers or send them out as e-mail attachments. You can even invoke external commands or applications with your files passed along as parameters allowing you to have access to your favourite tools from within your jobs. Fileaze supports Regular Expressions in pattern matching to help you fine-tune your file selection. Fileaze lets you select files from multiple locations within a single job so you can easily automate complex and tedious manual tasks by turning them into smart jobs. Scheduled execution of batch jobs is also supported to make them run in the background at a fixed time, preset interval or upon occurrence of events. Fileaze supports parameterized execution through a set of more than 30 predefined constants that automatically evaluate at runtime. You can also define your own constants helping you to customize the job at execution time thus allowing you to reuse the same job in multiple scenarios. By combining all these features you can create batch jobs ranging from the simple to the most sophisticated. Fileaze can become a full or incremental backup tool relying on the archive state of files or a mirroring application that clones the filesystem on request or at a preset interval. You can turn it into an automatic digital photo downloader that creates date-based folders for smart photo organization. You can easily transform Fileaze to an upstreaming daemon that continuously monitors your local files and automatically publishes modifications on the Web via FTP upload: this way Fileaze can become an online collaboration tool or a Web renderer given that you make your files pass through a command line rendering script. You can periodically encrypt sensible files and upload them to a remote server as an emergency backup that becomes invaluable in case of theft or hard disk failure. You can also turn Fileaze into a time-based Web downloader that always enables you to have the latest version of a Web page or image on your hard disk. Fileaze helps you get things done by saving you time and eliminating inevitable mistakes in tedious manual tasks.
