4.3.4

FolderManifest 4.3.3 — release notes

🖥️ New: FolderManifest now has a Command Line Interface

Every feature is now available from the terminal — fast, scriptable, and built
for bulk operations. The CLI ships inside the desktop app and is included
with the trial and every paid license. No separate install, no npm/winget. It
runs whether or not the app window is open.

What you can do

• Files: generate, verify, checksum, duplicates, metadata,
  compare-files, compare-folders.
• Spreadsheets: sheet-dedupe (remove/merge duplicate rows, single file or
  across files by column) and sheet-analyze (per-column duplicate report).
• Safe duplicate cleanup: duplicates <folder> --clean moves extra copies
  to the Recovery Bin (reversible — never a hard delete), --keep first|last.
• Recovery Bin: recovery list | restore | purge | empty — full parity
  with the in-app bin.
• Reports & output: --report <path> (HTML) and --out <path> on every
  result command.
• Reproducible bulk: run a batch of jobs from JSON with --config.
• Scriptable: --json machine output and stable exit codes (0 ok, 1 drift,
  2 no license, 3 usage) for cron / Task Scheduler / CI.
• License-aware: trial shows days remaining; when the trial ends, commands
  stop with an upgrade notice and never modify your files.

Get started: install the Windows app, then run foldermanifest <command>
from any terminal (the installer adds it to PATH). Portable build:
.\FolderManifest.exe cli <command>.
