About FileShows

FileShows is a local file-search and management application with both a graphical interface and command-line capabilities. It can search recursively using file and path wildcards, and use regular expressions to match content. Its batch-processing functions include incremental mirroring, duplicate detection, find and replace, archive and extraction operations, and cleanup. Scheduled tasks can run file-management work at specified times, including schedules expressed with cron syntax. The application also supports custom rule scripts for executing batches of operations, either through command-line tools or through scheduled tasks in the graphical application. Additional file-removal options use multiple overwrite mechanisms. This combination makes FileShows suited to repeated search and organization work as well as one-off file operations. The supplied description gives a broad feature list but does not detail supported archive formats, scripting language, or the exact behavior of individual overwrite methods.
