New in File Juggler 2.0.14
Released April 14, 2018
Bugfixes
- Configuration saves properly when changing order and enabled status of rules.
- Fixed a bug that would cause content from PDF files to have spaces between characters
Bugfixes
- Fixed a problem where the year in date variables would be "YYYY" instead of the actual year
- Fixed a bug that would cause FJ to crash when editing variable when it was opened from a condition.
Changes:
- PDF content reading handles non-linear text layout better (columns, boxes etc.)
- Added "line" in pattern variable
- Changes to accept of error reports and anonymous usage statistics.

- "Run command" retries if command fails
Should I upgrade from 1.3?
File Juggler 2.0 will not import your rules from version 1.3.x, so you will need to recreate rules manually. File Juggler 2.0 will install and run seperately from 1.3, so you will not lose any data when upgrading and you can switch back easily.
If you don't need any of the new features in 2.0, there's no problem in staying with 1.3.
You can run 1.3 and 2.0 at the same time, if you make sure they don't work in the same directory. This will of course use additional system resources.
A File Juggler license is valid for both versions, and you can use the same registration key.
Bugfixes
- When a variable name was changed from the variable select window, the change wasn't updated in tree before window was reopened
- Crash when editing variable from the Select variable window
- Adding a second copy action would clear the options set in the first
- Save configuration error
Bugfixes
- Fixes a problem that would leave "pending" lines in log, even though action was performed
- Misc. minor fixes
Solves a problem that could cause File Juggler to crash on start. The installer would not upgrade the .NET framework as needed. This would cause File Juggler to crash when the required version of the .NET framework (version 4.6.2) was not installed.
File Juggler 2.0 has better options for extracting and using contents in documents. Configurable variables gives you improved flexibility when creating rules.

Bug fixes
- Fixed a few potential crashes
- Rules wouldn't update properly when editing, until FJ was restared
- FJ could skip one or more files, when running a rule from the context menu.
- The same file would be re-evaluated several times. This was especially a problem for "File Contains", because that evaluation can use a lot of resources for big files.
Other changes
- Move and copy has options to either rename, skip or overwrite, if the target file already exists.
- If audio file doesn't contain tags, it uses "unknown artist" etc. instead of skipping file.

File Juggler 1.32 contains several bugfixes and improved stability. No new features, but I recommend upgrading, especially if you use "If file contains" with pdf files.
Bug fixes
- Problem that can cause FJ to crash when editing rules is fixed.
- File Explorer context menu extension: A problem with re-registering the extension when upgrading FJ, causing the menu extension to dissappear, is fixed for future versions. The problem might persist when upgrading to this version, in that case install, reboot and re-install a second time, and the problem should be gone for good.
- Several minor bugs and possible crashes are fixed.
Other changes
- File contents condition: Much improved method of reading PDF files.
- File created/modified/accessed condition can be less than something, and you can select minutes.
- Variables for rename/move/copy added: Day, month and year for date variables and Longitude/latitude for gps data in image.
- You can insert variables in target directory for the copy command.
- Option to reset a rule, making it process same files a second time.
