The new version of OutlookAttachView (3.30) allows you to scan only the attachments of unread Outlook messages. In order to activate this feature, simply select the “Scan only unread messages” check-box inside the ‘Mailbox Scan Options’ window:

Scan only unread outlook attachments

There is also new command-line option that can be used together with the above feature: /extractallsetreadflag
The /extractallsetreadflag command extracts Outlook attachments from command-line and then set the read flag, so when this command is executed again, it’ll not extract the same Outlook attachment again (Assuming the the “Scan only unread messages” feature is turned on).

The new version of BulkFileChanger supports the ‘Last Saved’ and ‘Content Created’ date properties of Microsoft Office documents (Word, Excel).
You can set the ‘Last Saved’ and ‘Content Created’ fields to specific date/time, and you can also copy the ‘Last Saved’ and ‘Content Created’ fields
into the created/modified time of the file system and vice versa.

Be aware that this feature works on Windows 7 or later, and on 64-bit systems it’s recommended to use the 64-bit version of BulkFileChanger to
ensure that it’ll work properly with the ‘Last Saved’ and ‘Content Created’ properties.

The new version of PingInfoView (2.00) allows you to use TCP ping at the specified port number, instead of the default ICMP ping.
In order to use the new TCP ping feature, simply specify the host name or IP address with TCP  port number, for example: 10.0.0.10:21 , 192.168.0.50:80, www.nirsoft.net:443
If you don’t specify a port number , PingInfoView  will send ICMP pings, like in the previous versions.

You can download the new version of PingInfoView from this Web page.

GetNir is a new command-line tool that allows you to easily extract the needed data from NirSoft tools and any other tool that generates output in tab-delimited or comma-delimited format.
GetNir is a console application, it’s executed inside Command-Prompt window and the requested data is sent to stdout.
GetNir receives the tab-delimited or comma-delimited data from stdin, and because most of NirSoft tools allow you to send data in tab-delimited or comma-delimited format (csv) to stdout, the combination of GetNir and other NirSoft tools works very well.

 

 

Here’s some examples for what you can do with combination of GetNir and other NirSoft tools:

Get the process name and path of application that uses the most download bandwidth (in the last 5 seconds).
AppNetworkCounter sorts the output so the application with the most “Received Bytes” will be in the first line and then GetNir displays the application name and path only of the first line (/TopLines 1)		 AppNetworkCounter.exe /CaptureTime 5000 /Sort “~Received Bytes” /scomma “” | GetNir “ApplicationName,ApplicationPath” “” /TopLines 1
