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.
