With this very simple program, you can check the settings of a recorded game.

Besides that, you can use the rename utility to automatically rename your recorded games according to a configurable format. To access the rename utility, just click the Tools menu and select the Rename option. It's possible to select multiple files to rename. To select multiple files, press the "..." button in the rename dialog box, hold the CONTROL key, and select the files you want to rename.

You need to install the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 (available for download at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=262d25e3-f589-4842-8157-034d1e7cf3a3&DisplayLang=en) and the Microsoft Visual J# .NET Version 1.1 Redistributable Package (available for download at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=E3CF70A9-84CA-4FEA-9E7D-7D674D2C7CA1&displaylang=en) to run this utility.

Very nice.
It would be cool if it could rename the file for you as you suggest.
If you don't have the time to do it, then you could post the source if you like and I could do it. no problemo. I presume you need vis studio .NET to build it???

I'd like it to rename the file something like:
2v2_player1Pos_player2Set__player3Loki_player4Ra.rec

in an ideal world you'd be able to configure it, so if someone had a ridiculous name like spud_muffin, then you could opt to take only the first 4 chars or something, so the names are of reasonable length.

Good work tho. nice.

Nice. It would be better if it added the players civs. IMO that would make it just about perfect. Could you add this option.

Great Even better. One last thing I thought of. Since I have started using your utility I have found I use the prefix and suffix options almost all the time.

I currently put the game type as the prefix: Lightning or Supremacy. I was wondering if you could add the option to display game type in the file name.

Secondly, would it be possible have shorter forms for the date.

And lastly, could we have a way of choosing the order the different fields appear in the file name:

Like Gametype - Map - Players - Date or
Game Type - Date - Map Players or any other variation people might like.

Thanks again.

Oh never mind about the second part. I see that I can already move the date and such around in the file name. Great Work.

Good utility! I found your program after deciding to write one for myself. I was scanning HG to see if anyone had figured out what compression format was used after finding the "l33t" id in the files and decided to check if one had already been made.

Additional Comments:
One of the best aspects of your program, is how you've made it easy to use uniform naming conventions for the rec/rcx files. Very nice.
The only suggestion I have at this time is cosmetic. When opening a file the program window doesn't update completely while the file is being processed (during decompression?). Perhaps adding a "file loading" screen with a progress bar would help. As I said, that's just a cosmetic thing. The primary object is functionallity and it's there.
Thanks for this needed utility!
