Thank you for using SimpleFileSorter
-------------------INSTALLATION-------------------
Mostly a pretty standard set up. Just run the FSSetupV1.0.0.0.exe and follow the installation

You might get a antivirus error but you should not worry. I have included the source of the files on sourceforge here is a description of what they do.
If you do run AntivirusCheck.bat - This will run all of the files used by this program and let your antivirus check/scan them.
NOTE: If you got this off of simplefilesorter.sourceforge.net there will be no harmful code. If not you might want to make sure and run AntivirusCheck.bat .

If you want to make your own antiviruscheck.bat here is all the code you need
::START OF CODE
START FILESORTER.EXE
START SRC\MENU.EXE
START SRC\FSTA.EXE
SRC\MS.EXE 10
::END OF CODE
Save it as a bat file. Make sure file type is set to all files types. 

The function of the extra layers are as follows:

FileSorter.exe - Main program - check for Java and then runs FSTA.exe

FSTA.exe - File Sorter Title Animation - (The animation is off by default)
	Displays the title animation for the advanced menu. - Animation can be enabled with "FileSorter.exe -A"
	A piggyback/helper file called millisleep.exe (Named MS.exe) is used for the millisecond delay from the animation.
	millisleep.exe is not my creation or program or anything. I do not own any right to it. It was created by Eli Fulkerson and can be found here:
	http://www.elifulkerson.com/projects/millisleep.php
	
	NOTE: There is a help/debug menu and can be accessed by using "FileSorter.exe -H"

MENU.exe - Pretty self explanatory. this is the menu for the advanced settings. - Can be accessed with "FileSorter.exe -M"

-------------------USE/RUNNING--------------------
This might be a little tricky but it is set up to run normaly by default.
Once started you should click the "..." button to select the file you wish to sort.
Then click the now enabled sort button and the files in the selected directory will be sorted by extension
You may click the advanced setting button to see what options you have:

Undo Organization - This setting can not be used until the folder you want to sort has been sorted.
	After the folder has been sorted a subfolder should be created in the sorted location name "bk"
	Once you restart the program and reselect the original folder (NOT THE BK SUBFOLDER) the button should be able to be clicked
	Once pressed the folder should be returned to it's original state;
		NOTE: this is iffy. sometimes ~99% of files should be copied and ~99% of folders should be deleted.

Delete Empty Folders Mode - This will search the given directory for folders that contain nothing and deletes them

Log Messages to File - This logs all the output in the display to a text file in the bk folder.

Renames Files to a Simpler Name - This removes all punctuation and numbers from a files name i.e. - Setup-1.567NEW_56.exe becomes SetupNEW.exe
	NOTE: If a file named SETUP123.exe is present along with SETUP456.exe the 456 version will replace the 123 version
		(Which ever file is loaded last will overwrite).

If you want advanced settings you have to right click the FileSorter shortcut and click properties then you need to find the target field and
then add -M at the end of the field
(Also if you want to skip the little animation it does at the start add -M at the end of the target line 
it should just jump straight to the advanced menu then)

-------------------LIST OF ARGUMENTS FOR THE SHORTCUT--------------
-S Will skip the advanced menu and start the program in the simple mode
-A Will play the menu animation at go straight to the advanced menu afterwards
-H Will display the programs arguments and what they do

-------------------CHANGELOG---------------------------------------
1.0.0.0 - Nothing, this is the first version

-------------------PLANS-------------------------------------------
No direct set of plans currently

-------------------CRASHES\BUGS------------------------------------
Please note the FileSorter.exe, FSTA.exe, and MENU.exe are all written as .BAT Files and were compiled to Executables.
	If there is any problem with the menu, please message me and tell me the conditions of what caused those files to crash
Please send any crash information to point.proj@gmail.com
If you can recreate the information with logs -L and Console Error Output -P on then please do (These settings can
be changed in the advanced menu) and attach those logs to the email
