CONVERTLFS (Converts LongFS files into proper long filenames).


Note:

This program will of course only work correctly if you've reformatted your

disc to the new E+/F+ format.



PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS TEXT FIRST




HOW TO USE:

Run the !Executor program.

You should see the blue icon load onto the icon bar.

(If you own a copy of !Keystroke, quit this first).


Open the root directory of the Hard Drive or Floppy you want to convert.

Place the mouse pointer over the window and press

ALT-Q

or if you prefer

ALT-'backspace' (the key to the right of the '=')


Executor will then search the contents of your disc for any files called

!ZZ!!Z!!LF and will convert any shorten names to their proper full names.


Just sit back and watch Executor go through your drive automatically

changing the file names.



WHAT IT IS DOING (if you want to know)

======================================

When you point at the root directory of your drive, Executor will select (via the Filer Menu 'Select All' option) all the objects in the directory the Mouse Pointer is over.


Executor then pops up the menu 'Selection => Find=>'

Enters in !ZZ!Z!!LF and presses RETURN.


This causes the file to look for any files called !ZZ!Z!!LF and a 'finding an object' search window pops up looking for any occurances of this file.


When it does find one Executor then clicks on the View icon and the directory pops up.


Executor then performs its conversion of file names to their longnames on that directory. Executor then closes this directory and then clicks on the continue icon in the 'Finding an object' window.


And thus it goes through your entire drive converting your longFS names.


You can stop this at anytime by clicking on the ABORT icon in the 'finding an object' search window and quiting Executor from the icon bar.



TEST

====


If you want to be sure its working, I've now included a test directory for you.

Just drag this test directory onto your drive and open the directory and place your mouse pointer over this direct and press ALT Q.

It should convert all the files within secs.
