DCreator

Purpose

DCreator helps a desktop user in creating many valid sub-directories using text segments from documents. It avoids the requirement of manually editing directory names in order to be compliant with the operating system and user policy. 

Description

Overview

DCreator accepts a "destination" directory drop followed by untagged text drops. Upon activation by clicking the target area, DCreator will modify each dropped text into related valid directory name(s). For each text drop, that valid name is then used for creating a sub-directory under the destination directory. The variant specifies how the dropped text will be modified.

Variants

 

Tagged Drops

There is one tagged drop: the "destination" directory drop (identified as "Dest Dir")

Untagged Drops

The untagged text drops are identified as "Text drops". Each text drop will be modified, as necessary, for generating a valid directory name.

Clipboard Use

The clipboard is not used for any variant.
