Often we need test files during development, either to see how an application behaves with differently sized files or just as a 'payload' for various tests.
Dummy File Creator is written just for this purpose - to create files. They can be between 1 byte and 18 Gb filled with garbage, random values or zeroes.
How to use
Choose a filename (type or click on the 'Browse' button) and a size. The size is made up by the number in the size field and a unit from the dropdown list. The dropdown list offers Bytes, Kb, Mb, Gb (each being a 1000 times bigger than the previous).
Create Dummy File
The checkbox 'Random File Content' fills the file with, who would have guessed this, random bytes. The 'Create' button is used to create a file quickly and filled with garbage. Technically it uses SetFilePointer() to set the end of the file, which results in nothing being written to the file but allocates the disk space for its contents.
Garbage File Creator
By default, the 'Create' button also checks the random content.
If you are using NTFS with file compression enabled, you can easily create a 10 GB (or even bigger) file on any hard disk if you do not enable the random content option.
Simple, if none of these options is enabled then the program will write a stream of zeroes to the disk which gets compressed to literally nothing on the file system. Any file which contains only all the same bytes allocates only one unit for the directory entry.
Dummy File Creator also includes two modes: Single File and Multiple Files. The Single File does what it states: it creates a single file of the size you choose. The Multiple Files option creates several files that you create in a batch list. To create the batch list, you need to include the full path of the file as well as the name, size, and the 'Random File Content' option (indicated by a 0 or 1). The program includes a sample batch list file to help get you started.
