This software converts Mac filenames to Windows, repairs invalid characters, and adds file extensions to allow compatibility with PCs. It can help to translate forbidden names to valid Windows conventions en masse.
MacNames is a utility software designed for Windows NT, 2000, and XP that facilitates the automatic transformation of Macintosh filenames stored on a Windows NT or 2000 Server volume. It enables the removal of illegal characters and addition of filenames extensions, enabling Windows to identify the appropriate applications associated with renamed files. MacNames works seamlessly as a Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 Service and runs with Microsoft Services for Macintosh (MacFile), Cyan Software MacServerIP or Intergraph ExtremeZ-IP.
This software provides users with an option to include sub-folders in the renaming process, mapping of illegal characters like /, \, , ?, * that can be easily modified, and correspondance table Signatures (Type/Creator)/Extensions that are easily editable. Additionally, MacNames can also be used to truncate filenames longer than 31 characters, allowing the files to be viewed from Macintosh in a more user-friendly way than DOS shortnames (8+3). The software can also rename files and sub-folders, analyze batches of Macintosh files signatures in selected folders, and custom-set time intervals for updates.
MacNames software is highly customizable, allowing users to set its performance and archive renaming operations in Log files. During certain events like when a folder becomes unknown or lacks connection, MacNames can send various kinds of warnings, including a beep, display message, send a message to an admin, messages in the Log, and messages in the Applications EventLog (when MacNames is running as a Windows service).
MacNames is available in English and French languages, with Single, Site, and Corporate licenses for prepress industry and companies that serve Macintosh documents to both Macintosh and Windows users. In summary, MacNames is a highly effective software that helps Windows-Macintosh cross-platform integration.
