Archive Builder
Archive Builder is a specialized desktop app for eng & softw
Archive Builder is a specialized desktop application designed for engineering and software teams to quickly filter, organize, and package complex project directories into clean, standardized client deliverables. Instead of manually sorting through thousands of working files, teams can set metadata (like package types and revision codes), selectively filter files by extension or folder, and build secure zip archives in a few clicks.
In large-scale engineering, CAD modeling, and software development projects, sending client deliverables is rarely as simple as sending a raw folder. A single project directory often contains thousands of files—ranging from internal working files, source code, and build scripts to final drawings, PDFs, and libraries. Sorting through these files manually to prepare a submission is time-consuming, prone to human error, and risks accidentally leaking confidential internal assets.
Archive Builder solves this bottleneck by providing a structured, automated workflow for generating clean client handoffs:
Intelligent File & Folder Filtering: Parse through deep subfolder structures and thousands of files instantly. Selectively include or exclude files on a folder-by-folder basis (e.g., grabbing specific files from Macro or Lib directories while ignoring raw Git logs) or filter globally by file extensions.
Automated & Standardized Naming: Key project metadata—such as the Project Name, Package Type (e.g., Review Package, Addendum, Final Handoff), Revision Code (e.g., REV-05), and Dispatch Date—are automatically combined to form standardized output filenames. Separators can be customized in the settings menu.
Customizable Compression Engine: Control the balance between performance and archive size with three compression profiles:
No Compression: Maximum speed with zero delay, ideal for rapid internal transfers.
Balanced: A balanced approach offering standard compression at moderate speed.
Smallest: Heavy compression algorithms to minimize file size for bandwidth-limited uploads or email attachments.
Interface & Workplace Customization: Features full Dark Mode and Light Mode support, along with adjustable interface text sizes (Small, Medium, Large) to suit various viewing environments and accessibility needs.
Local & Secure: Operates 100% offline. All file parsing, filtering, and compression happen locally on your computer, ensuring proprietary project data never leaves your environment.
