Do you have files and documents all over the place leads to chaos Do you have the troubles as not knowing where files are, misplacing important documents, more than one person simultaneously accessing the same document or spending hours looking for an important folder How should we do Take it easy! A file management tool will give you a hand. Here I will recommend an excellent and popular file management utility to you. That is FlexTk Express which came from Flexense. Following is the detailed introduction of this handy file management toolkit.

FlexTk Express is a file management toolkit that enables us to classify and categorize files, find duplicate files and free-up storage space. We can scan drives or folders and view a report of how our storage space is utilized by file type. It automatically categorizes our files by general types (e.g. multimedia files, executables, documents etc.) and allows us to drill down further to view results for individual files types and eventually a list of all files within the group. FlexTk Express is free for us and it does not contain any adware or spyware. It is a standalone software and does not need any extra software and hardware requirement. It works with Win2000/XP/2003/Vista and its current version is 2.8.42.

Following are some key functions and benefits of this great automate file management software, including:

FlexTk Express provides us with the following advanced file management operations that may be performed on file classification results: Build Hierarchy of Links. Copy File Hierarchy. Move File Hierarchy. Delete Files.

FlexTk Express provides power computer users and IT professionals with a large set of advanced file classification options allowing one to customize and tune the file classification process for user-specific needs and custom storage configurations. Such as:

The "General" tab allows us to set the file scanning mode, file scanning filter, a custom report title and instruct FlexTk Express to automatically save a file classification report instead of displaying file classification results.

File Scanning Mode - FlexTk Express is capable of scanning multiple disks or directories in parallel thus improving the speed of the file classification process on multi-CPU/multi-core systems. We can select the "Parallel" file scanning mode if we wish to scan all input disks and directories simultaneously.

File Scanning Filter - Sometimes, file classification should be performed on a subset of files meeting one or more user-specific requirements. For example, one may need to classify all JPEG images using the time-based file classification plugin capable of organizing files into a file hierarchy according to files' creation, modification and access dates. In this case, set the file scanning filter to '*.jpg' (JPEG images) and FlexTk Express will classify JPEG images only.

Report Title - this option allows us to specify a custom report title to be used in all types of file classification reports.

Save Report - If this option is selected, FlexTk Express will classify all the specified disks and directories and automatically save file classification results into a report file according to the selected report format instead of displaying the file classification results dialog. This option is especially useful in conjunction with user-defined file classification commands allowing one to schedule periodic file classification operations using FlexTk Express's built-in command line tools.

The "Rules" tab provides us with the ability to perform file classification on files matching one or more user-defined criteria. All files that are not matching the specified file matching criteria will be excluded from the classification process and not displayed in classification results. For example, we may wish to classify all types of documents with the file size more than 1 MB and were modified more than a year ago.

The "Performance" tab provides us with the ability to customize the file classification process for user-specific storage configurations and performance requirements. FlexTk Express is optimized for multi-core/multi-CPU computers and advanced RAID storage systems and capable of scanning multiple file systems in parallel.

The "Exclude" tab allows us to specify a list of directories that should be excluded from the file classification process. Files located in the Windows system directories may be critical to the proper operation of the operating system and it is highly recommended to avoid touching any files in these directories. By default, FlexTk Express populates the list of exclude directories from the global list of exclude directories, which may be modified on the FlexTk Express options dialog's "Exclude" tab.

The "Actions" tab allows us to automatically perform various file management operations on file classification results. By default, FlexTk Express is just displaying file classification results in the results dialog allowing us to manually perform file management operations on specific files or file classes. Sometimes, we need to automate the file classification process and to perform an operation (copy, move, link, etc.) automatically, on-the-fly, without showing any file classification results.

FlexTk Express provides the following automatic file classification modes: "Classify and Build Links Hierarchy In" - select this option and specify a destination directory to construct an organized hierarchy of directories and populate it with links to original files according to file classification results. "Classify and Copy File Hierarchy To" - selects this option and specify a destination directory to construct an organized hierarchy of directories and populate it with copies of original files according to file classification results. "Classify and Move File Hierarchy To" - select this option and specify a destination directory to construct an organized hierarchy of directories and move all classified files into that hierarchy according to file classification results. "Move Files To and Link Originals" - select this option and specify a destination directory to construct an organized hierarchy of directories and move all classified files into that hierarchy according to file classification results while replacing original files with links pointing to classified files in the specified destination directory. "Execute Custom Command" - select this option and specify a custom command or a script file to be executed for each classified file. For each classified file, FlexTk Express will execute the specified custom command and pass the full name of the file and the full class name as the first and the second command line arguments respectively.

Other features include generating of MD5, SHA1 or SHA256 signatures for files and HTML, Excel CSV and ACSII text and more!

Other features include generating of MD5, SHA1 or SHA256 signatures for files and HTML, Excel CSV and ACSII text. The free Express version is limited to 250,000 files.

FlexTk is an advanced file management toolkit allowing one to search and classify files, scan one or more disks or directories and apply rule-based, file organizing or data migration policies, synchronize files and directories, monitor one or more disks or directories, analyze storage utilization, copy large amounts of files in a fault-tolerant way, identify duplicate files and free-up wasted storage space. All file operations are available through a centralized and easy to use GUI software with a built-in file navigator allowing one to execute any required command in a single mouse click.

The FlexTk file management toolkit is capable of scanning disks, network shares and enterprise storage systems, classifying all the existing files and organizing them into a categorized file hierarchy. FlexTk automatically recognizes more than 2000 file types and allows one to browse or export the categorized file hierarchy, perform various actions on specific files or file groups and physically reorganize existing files according to a user-defined list of rules and policies. The FlexTk's built-in Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM) engine allows one to define multiple HSM policies and apply them simultaneously during a single pass through one or more file systems.

FlexTk provides two distinct file classification and organizing modes: the manual file classification mode and the automatic file organizing mode. The manual file classification mode allows one to scan one or more file systems, process all existing files with a file classification plug-in and organize them into a categorized file hierarchy. Once the categorized file hierarchy is built, the user is provided with the capability to perform various operations on files or groups of files such as copy, move, delete or export file lists into a number of standard formats including HTML, Excel CSV and ASCII text.

The automatic file organizing mode allows one to define actions or commands that should be performed on files matching one or more user-defined criteria. The user is provided with the capability to define sophisticated file matching criteria based on the file class or class group, the file name, size, time, text or binary patterns, etc. An unlimited number of search criteria, in conjunction with the AND/OR logical operators, may be defined for each organizing operation.

In the automatic file organizing mode, files that are matching user-defined criteria may be copied or moved to a specific location, deleted or processed with a custom command. Multiple organizing operations, searching for different types of files and performing different actions or user-defined commands, may be executed during a single pass trough one or more file systems.
In order to simulate execution of one or more file organizing commands, select one or more file organizing commands and press the 'Preview' button. FlexTk will scan input files and directories and show the list of file organizing actions that should be performed. The user is provided with the capability to confirm or reject any specific file organizing action. After reviewing and confirming file organizing actions, press the 'Organize' button to apply all the selected operations. In addition, FlexTk allows one to export the list of file organizing actions into a number of standard formats such as HTML, Excel CSV and text.

Frequently used file organizing commands may be saved in the predefined organizing command list. To open the organizing command list dialog, select menu 'Organize - Edit Organize Commands' on the main menu bar. The organizing command list dialog allows one to add, edit or delete predefined organizing commands. To execute a predefined file organizing command, select one or more disks, directories or files and press the 'Organize' button on the main toolbar. On the organizing command list dialog select one or more commands that should be executed and press the 'Start' button.
