Thanks to everyone who has mentioned how much they like the File Version Check tool. I’ve added the ability to generate a report on an entire folder & all of its subfolders. The output is also now written to an Excel file instead of a CSV file.
Download it at http://gdurl.com/lbnw/download
With this I was able to run a report on the 13,375 Revit files in C:\ProgramData\Autodesk and generate the report excerpted below.

Hi Harry!
This is useful… and fast! I threw a bunch of old Revit files and families in a folder and noticed a couple of things:
1) The program fails to run if the folder contains a Revit file made with a release earlier than R2008.
2) The programs runs on files created in Revit 2008 and 2009, but the Excel spreadsheet displays no release information for them.
3) The program fails to run if the folder contains a R2016 file (but DOES work on R2015 files)–go figure! 🙂
Are these expected issues?
Nice work! Thanks!
Trey
Thanks Trey!
1) I don’t have any files around from earlier than 2008. Could you send me one to try?
2) 2008/2009 were some of the early days of the Revit API, so it seems that the file info was not being included back then
3) R2016 / R2015 – What’s that?
Hello, the link seem to be broken. Can you check it?
The link works for me, but you can also try https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwszsfY3OsZHTGlfS2VkT0VKalE/edit?usp=sharing
Thanks Herry, this link worked.
Not necessarily related to file versions, but another metadata tool idea: Would there be any way to have a group of parameters associated with any view, to tell us when the view was created, and by whom?
Thanks for your efforts
That is absolutely doable. Please contact me at boostyourbim@gmail.com if you are interested in having such a tool developed for your firm.
can it be set up to only read projects and not families?
Yes, that is possible. I will consider that for a future release.
