PCM-Archiver v6.1 - New Release

PCM-Archiver version 6.1 gives you better control than ever over the archived file and folder names.

December 20, 2021

Written by Dan MacMillan

PCM-Archiver version 6.1 gives you better control than ever over the archived file and folder names.

New Features

  • The date format used in file and folder names is now configurable.

  • Naming rule overrides can now be defined in a separate file, making it easier to keep track of which rules have been customized and which are the defaults.

  • More specific naming rules always take precedence over less specific rules, allowing naming rules to be defined in any order.

Enhancements

  • Attachments with illegal characters in the file name can now be downloaded with PCM-Archiver. They will be renamed automatically.

  • When using force the regeneration check box with incremental extraction, the whole document type will be re-extracted, making it easier to deal with changes to naming rules.

  • The out-of-the-box naming rules for drawings have been improved so that the drawing title is included in the file and folder names.

  • Additional checks included in progressive and incremental extraction modes to ensure that PCM-Archiver does not make any changes to files outside of the archive location that it controls.

November 30, 2021

Written by Dan MacMillan

PCM-Archiver version 6 allows you to save even more time when resuming previously-interrupted extractions.

New Features

  • Incremental extraction - There's no longer any need to re-extract documents that were previously successfully extracted when an extraction is interrupted partway through a document type, for example because it was cancelled or aborted due to error.

Enhancements

  • Document types are listed by name in the web interface instead of by acronym, which makes it easy to find the ones you are interested in.

  • Improved naming rules and behaviour now ensure that each document will be written into a unique folder.
