Sweepy - Testing lots of maps? Clean out wasted space with this!

Tired of having to go through your maps folder and clean out all the old stuff that piles up from testing? Sweepy provides an easy way to remove it in one go. It will work for any Source engine game.



As you can see in the screenshot, many options are provided for you to choose from, but the primary advantage of Sweepy is the "old versions" auto-detection algorithm.

This works by examining the contents of the filename following the LAST underscore, except if the filename ends with "_old" in which case that part is ignored.
The process looks for typical methods of versioning a map: _final, _rc, _test, and any single letter (_a, _b, _r, _z). If none of these are found then it is assumed non-versioned and is the root name of a map. Files with matching "roots" are grouped together.
The "standard" versions are taken from the group, then ranked in the following order from newest to oldest: _v, _final, no suffix, _rc, _b, _a, with any sub-versions (_b2, _b3) taken into consideration. All but the newest are then marked for deletion.
Any "non-standard" (_test, _z, _bob, _stage) versions remaining have their timestamps compared to the newest "standard" version. Older ones are marked for deletion and newer ones are are flagged in yellow for the user to decide on.

A whitelist is also provided so you can easily preserve all versions of your own maps, or anything else you never want auto-selected.

Full info on the rest of the features can be found in the packaged readme. (also accessible here)

grazr: midget pretty much has it. Tuts & Res is meant for stuff that helps in the creation of a map, this is quite the opposite Plus this is useful for people who don't actually map too.

I might post it elsewhere once I have no reports of bugs. I don't expect any/many, but I never really had extensive external testing.

Download folder... ehh. That's more than I care to bother with. Would mean another folder selection button (I don't feel like messing with the layout anymore) and determining which bz2/7z/zip/rar are maps and which aren't. Plus it's relatively easy to just nuke them all yourself, this program arose from the bother of nuking specific maps.

The load counts are in media\viewed.res, it says this in the program.

Your versioning, what about it? It won't properly detect those since they have an additional underscore, and I tried a few things to make such cases work but none were reliable. The only method that I think would work would require way more additional code than I cared to write, because those kinds of versions are a rarity.

Has anyone had any issues?
