Enhancements

Fixes

  • Main window disappears behind other windows after setting input/output dir.
  • XLS files in root directory were not processed, only the files from subfolders.
  • Encoding of the converted *.csv files has been changed to ANSI WINDOWS Codepage 1252 (West European Latin) so that it works identical to excel (save as *.csv feature).
  • Moved settings file to appdata folder of the user currently logged on eliminating UAC limitations.
  • Sheetnames containing single quote characters are now converted (this used to give an exception).
  • Fixed an issue where the log file could not be written to disk when the destination directory no longer existed (dialog box requesting to write log to system disk).
  • Typo “Threat all as text” should be “Treat all as text”.
