Version history for NirSoft NK2Edit (64-bit)
<<Back to software description
Changes for v3.20 - v3.25
- Added 'Import From Message Store' option under the File menu, which loads the AutoComplete data directly from the message store (PST file or Exchange server) of the current Outlook profile. (This option is the opposite of 'Export To Message Store')
- You can now use the /LogFile command-line option without any other command (For creating a log file while using the GUI)

Changes for v3.09 - v3.20
- Added new option: 'EX Records AutoFill - Drop Trailing Numbers'. If this option is turned on while NK2Edit automatically fills the 'Search String' and 'Drop-Down Name' fields of MS-Exchange record, trailing numbers are removed from the user name.

- Added 2 new optional parameters to the Add command of NK2Edit scripts: 'Drop-Down Name' and 'Search String'. For example:

Changes for v2.71 - v2.72
- Added option to change the characters encoding of the files generated by the 'Export Selected Items' option and by the export command-line options (/stab, /scomma, /shtml and so on...) - UTF-8, UTF-16, or Ascii

Both executables (32-bit and 64-bit) share the same configuration file (nk2edit.cfg) if they are executed from nk2edit.exe
- This package might be useful for you if you have mixed environment with some computers running Outlook 32-bit and some computers running Outlook 64-bit.

Changes for v2.53 - v2.55
- Added 'EntryID' column.

- For example, to delete all non-private distribution lists:
- if DisplayType Equal 1 delete
Changes for v2.40 - v2.41
- Added 'Use SMTP Address In AutoFill Feature' option (Under the Options menu). This feature affects the way that NK2Edit automatically fills the Drop-Down Name and the Search String of EX records. If it's turned on, NK2Edit will use the SMTP address to fill the Drop-Down Name and the Search String. If it's turned off, MK2Edit will use the Exchange account name, like in previous versions of NK2Edit. For example: If this option is turned on, the Drop-Down Name will be 'Nir Sofer
'.
Changes for v2.38 - v2.40
- Added 'Open Selected Address In Outlook' option (Under the File menu and the context menu). This option allows you to open the selected email address in Outlook.

One copy in the local file system (Stream_Autocomplete_*.dat), and another copy on the message store of your Outlook profile (PST file or Exchange server). This option allows you to copy the local AutoComplete .dat file into the message store of Outlook, to ensure that Outlook will not overwrite your changes.
Changes for v2.29 - v2.30
- Fix for the 'Open Recent File' menu: When using the 'Save As' option to save into a new filename, the new filename will be added to the recent files menu.
Changes for v2.28 - v2.29

Changes for v2.15 - v2.16

- Example:
- If AddressType equal "SMTP" Set SendingFormat 1
Changes for v2.06 - v2.10
- Added 'Sending Format' column, which displays the format that Outlook will use when sending email message to the specified SMTP recipient: Automatic (Let Outlook decide...), Outlook Rich Text, or Plain Text. This column is only valid for SMTP records.

Changes for v2.05 - v2.06

Changes for v2.03 - v2.05
- Added /import_full_nk2 command-line option, which imports all records of the specified nk2 file into the default Outlook profile. (Be aware that this action overwrites all the existing AutoComplete records with the records of the specified nk2 file.)
Changes for v2.02 - v2.03
- Added Unicode byte order mark to the log file, so it'll be opened properly with all text viewers/editors.
Changes for v2.01 - v2.02
- Added /CurrDirExe command-line option, which changes the current directory used for all other command-line options. By default, when you specify a filename without a path (For example: NK2Edit.exe /script "myscript.txt" $default ""), NK2Edit searches the file in the current directory returned by Windows operating system. In most cases, the current directory is where the .exe file of NK2Edit is located, but in some other cases (For example, when running NK2Edit from RunOnce Registry key), the current directory might be different.
- If /CurrDirExe is specified, NK2Edit will search the file in the same folder where NK2Edit.exe is located, even if the current directory of Windows operating system is different
Changes for v2.00 - v2.01
- Fixed issue: When using the combination of /script and /LogFile command-line options, without specifying the third parameter of /script (For example: NK2Edit.exe /script "f:\scripts\myscript.txt" $default /LogFile "f:\%computername%.txt" ), the script command was failed because the /LogFile was taken as the third parameter.

- Added 'Open Recent File' menu (under the File menu), which allows you to easily choose the NK2 file to open from a list of the last 10 NK2 files you previously opened.

- When trying to connect to Outlook 2010 ('Add Records From Address Book' and 'Add Records From Mailbox Recipients' options) with the wrong build of NK2Edit (NK2Edit 32-bit with Outlook x64 or NK2Edit x64 with Outlook 32-bit), NK2Edit now displays informative error message about the problem.
Changes for v1.94 - v1.95
- The /LogFile command-line option now can be used with /import_csv_file command-line option.
