## 🧩 Uniform Output Naming  
We provide powerful regular expression rules to auto-analyze and rename output files, giving you a clean and consistent output structure.

## 🛠️ Extra Drill File Handling  
Unlike other conversion tools, OpenJLC supports auto-detection and classification of drill files — no manual steps required.

**Altium**
```yaml
Drill_NPTH_Through: "(?i).*slot\\s?h?oles.*\\.txt$"
Drill_PTH_Through: "(?i).*round\\s?h?oles.*\\.txt$"
Drill_PTH_Through_Via: "(?i)\\.REP$|.*via.*\\.txt$"
Drill_PTH_Through_GBR: "(?i)\\.GD1$"
Drill_PTH_Through_Via_GBR: "(?i)\\.GG1$"
```

**KiCad**
```yaml
Drill_PTH_Through: "(?i)(?!.*NPTH).*\\.DRL$"
Drill_PTH_Through_Via: "(?i).*\\bVIA\\b.*\\.DRL$"
Drill_NPTH_Through: "(?i).*\\bNPTH\\b.*\\.DRL$"
Drill_PTH_Through_GBR: "(?i)^[^N]*PTH[^N]*\\.GBR$"
Drill_PTH_Through_Via_GBR: "(?i).*\\bVIA\\b.*\\.GBR$"
Drill_NPTH_Through_GBR: "(?i).*\\bNPTH\\b.*\\.GBR$"
```

## 🖱️ Right-Click Integration on Windows  
On Windows, OpenJLC supports seamless right-click processing for `.zip` Gerber archives. With just one click, you can get clean and correctly named outputs — even after processing by the Windows file system.
