Using the EulumdatTools Validator to check 4000+ files (How To video)

To illustrate how to use the validator part of EulumdatTools to check the Manufacturers name in a large set of files I created below video.

New version of EulumdatTools 0.9.10.v20121130 released

A new version of EulumdatTools 0.9.10.v20121130 was published on November 30th at http://www.fold1.com/eulumdattools/. Improvements and bug fixes are as follows:

• Significant speed improvements in the validator by saving all workspace update events (IWorkspaceRunnable & IResourceProxy) till after update.
• Speed ups in some of the QuickFixes that can be opened from the Problem View by executing them directly in the background instead of opening (too) many editors. This is most notable in the Manufacturers Name quick fix that now performs effortlessly using very large (4000+ files) file sets. Further focus will be on improving all checkers this way.
• Numerous small bug fixes that produced errors.
• EVAL licenses have all options of a FULL license during the trial period, except that most batch operations like conversions and quick fixes are limited to max 20 files. UNLICENSED or EXPIRED users will have no use of the validators at all.
