A few packages from earlier generations of Umbraco, with their original purpose and project links.
Read the legacy packages article for the story behind Media Download, Trace Log Viewer, Date Range Picker and Dictionary Editor, with their original publication dates.
These summaries replace the older package introductions on this site. They describe historical releases; check each project's version requirements before using it with an existing installation.
Trace Log Viewer
Diplo Trace Log Viewer provided a backoffice view of Umbraco's Log4Net text logs. It helped inspect and search the trace files used by older installations, rather than reading them directly on the server. The original article dates from the Umbraco 4/6/7 era; its log format and file paths are not instructions for a current installation.

Link Checker
Diplo Link Checker was a dashboard package for Umbraco 7.1 and later in that generation. It checked links on published pages, including links to files and images, and helped editors locate pages containing broken links. Its backoffice used AngularJS.

Dictionary Editor
This Umbraco 7.7+ package provided a dedicated section for editing Dictionary values without giving editors the whole Settings area. It included language filtering, bulk editing and CSV import/export. It is distinct from the Dictionary Translator, which performs automatic translation.

Media Download
The original Umbraco 8 package added a Download action to the Media library. It could download files or folders as a zip archive, optionally including nested folders and preserving their Media-tree structure. Compatibility with custom storage providers needs to be checked against the relevant release.

Date Range Picker
An early Umbraco 7 property editor for selecting a start and end date. It combined an AngularJS interface with a property value converter so templates could work with a date-range object. The original article was also an exploration of the Umbraco 7 extension model; its APIs and examples predate the modern backoffice.
