New in version 2025.1 (21st of March, 2025)
- Extended ReplaceMagic with functionality to store scan or replacement results in database (options: SQLite (default, not recommended for larger locations), MySQL or SQL Server (or SQLServer Express)).
Database configuration is possible over Configuration => DB Config:
More details under Configuration => DB Config section
To save scanning results use Export Run in Scan documents tab.
To save replacement results, use Export Run in Search & Replace tab.
To import saved run results use either Import Run in Scan documents or Search&Replace tab or over Configuration => DB Config
- Extended Scan Documents and Search & Replace tab to include filtering and run export and import functionality:
Over Filtering, you can specify which documents should be excluded or included based on provided strings and select where strings should (or not be):
One example - processing of SharePoint locations is always fully on selected location but with filtering you will have option to exclude everything what is not of your interest helping you to reduce number of documents what will be processed.
- Export Run - with this feature you will have possibility to save scanning or replacement in database for later usage:
or
Where you can set run name for later reference and export operation results.
- Import Runs will allow to import previously saved runs and continue processing directly over saved result set:
- Extended document filtering during scanning or replacement process (replacement was added with this release):
More details under:
- Folder(s) selection
- SharePoint selection
- Extended ReplaceMagic to allow processing of table content in PowerPoint (process is executed when changes in Text area are selected)
- Further processing performance improvements
- Extended ReplaceMagic to include in scanning result SharePoint shared link and share token. As this will create additional workload on SharePoint, option is not active per default and has to be enabled over Configuration => SharePoint 1:
Already created exports which are used for import will not work any more and it is critical to check if in:
- c:\Users\YOUR_USER\AppData\Roaming\ReplaceMagic"
- "c:\Users\YOUR_USER\AppData\Local\ReplaceMagic"
- "c:\ProgramData\ReplaceMagic"
you have file(s) grid*Layout.xml which has to be deleted as otherwise new exports will not work.
Shared links are used by SharePoint when you click on:
- Limitation: for files with special characters (like # and similar) SharePoint is reporting problems to provide shared link and share token. Following special characters, even if they are allowed in folder/file name, are causing problem to read shared links and/or share token:
- Tilde (~)
- Number sign (#)
- Percent (%)
- Ampersand (&)
- Asterisk (*)
- Braces ({ })
- Backslash (\)
- Colon (:)
- Angle brackets (< >)
- Question mark (?)
- Slash (/)
- Plus sign (+)
- Pipe (|)
- Quotation mark (")
- Limitation: list attachments cannot have shared link/share token and that will be reported in scanning output result
- Limitation: list and/or list item shared links are not supported
- Fix bugs in Pivot processing
- Added functionality to delete result grid layout, if it exists, in case that additional result fields are introduced. Otherwise, exports might not work without manual layout file deletion.
- Export and import functionality completely rewritten. Remark: previous export might not work anymore for import!
- Added option to enable or disable Autofit columns in Excel export. During test run with around 500000 rows for export, with enabled option export took around 80 seconds and without around 20 seconds. This option will shorten duration of large exports:
but columns in Excel file will not be expanded according to the content which can be manually done directly in Excel. Default setting is true (option is enabled).
- Fixed scanning of emails where link is containing %20 which were shown as spaces leading that there was no replacement match.
