DESCRIPTION

Folder Splitter can split one large folder into several smaller ones.

Features:

Define the Maximum Size of the Destination Folders. (useful if you want to backup the folders to CDs/DVDs)
Decide, whether to move or copy the files to their new destination.
Choose between the option to keep the files in their alphabetical order or to minimize the number of required Destination Folders.
Include a Log File with every new folder.
"Folder UnSplit": Combine the splitted folders to a new single folder. (Reverse the Splitting process.)

WHAT'S NEW

Version 0.9b10:

Fixes a StackOverflow for deep folder hierarchies.
Sorting is now numerical.
LogFile shoould now handle unicode characters better.
Folder Splitter's very first step is to count all the source items. This is now reflected in the status bars (instead of Folder Splitter just being unresponsive.)

	Dec 22 2009	PAULO MATSUI Tried 'Big Mean Folder Machine" before finding this little app. And now I'm amazed at this small, spiffy, light and very well-written piece of code. "Folder Splitter" no-frills, no complicated settings are an invitation to keep it like one of your favorites tools. I use it every week and until now see no problem or hassle whatsoever. The only 'catch' is that you HAVE to create a new folder (with an indifferent name) just to be the target of the splitted folders - it strangely cannot split within the same directory (the same folder that contains the original big folder). Aside from that, this is a program that relies on your Mac's processing and HD speeds and quite useful. It delivers what it promises. Did I mention it is fast? (Version 0.9b10)		0

	Feb 18 2007	GRUMPYTICO I used it shortly for splitting 8 GB into to two folders for burning - it did it flawlessly. I then tried with my home folder so I could have a backup and it did had some problems with special characters - nonetheless, it has a bright bright future. Considering others are asking $40 for basically the same thing (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/22687) I think this is an amazing tool. (Version 0.9b6)		+1
