!!! fixed major bug
v4.20.0025 - 28.10.05 18:05
= NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main changes since last release:
+++ Tabbed browsing: added the ability to "lock tabs" (find the new
command/state in the tabs' context menu). A locked tab will never
leave its current location but instead open a new tab
automatically.
Of course, you can as well lock the search results tab.
+++ Added preview of the following MS Office formats:
DOC, DOT, RTF, PPT, XLS, CSV.
+ Now you can "Open in New Tab" by simply holding Shift when
clicking a tree node.
+ You can as well "Open in New Background Tab" by simply holding
Ctrl and Shift when clicking a tree node.
- Various bug fixes.
v4.20.0025 - 28.10.05 18:05
* Menu View, Refresh Folder is now "Refresh Tree" (shortcut F4). You
guessed it: now the whole visible tree will be updated, not just the
current folder and its subfolders.
v4.20.0024 - 28.10.05 14:29
! In a fresh installation, the folder "[app-path]\FindTemplates\"
was not created, with the effect that finding tabs would not
store/retrieve their settings. Fixed.
! Menu View, Date Format, No Time: it did not work anymore, at least
not under 2K/XP. Fixed.
v4.20.0023 - 27.10.05 14:33
+++ Browsing tabs: added the ability to "lock tabs" (find the new
command/state in the tabs' context menu). A locked tab will never
leave its current location but instead open a new tab
automatically. Further you cannot accidentally close a locked tab
because you'll be warned.
! Selecting a finding tab when coming from a tab with one or more
folders (or folder.lnk files) selected triggered a search in those
folders instead of the finding tab's original search location.
Fixed.
v4.20.0022 - 25.10.05 10:50
+ List context menu in find mode: added command "Go to Focused Item
in New Tab", which does exactly what is says.
+ List context menu in find mode: added command "Open Containing
Folder in New Background Tab", which does exactly what is says.
* List behavior: after multi-selected items are moved or deleted,
the now focused item is now automatically scrolled into the view
port if necessary.
v4.20.0021 - 24.10.05 16:51
! Issue with popup menu location on multi-monitors systems, try #2.
Fixed (?).
+ Find Files, Exclude Folders: you can now Ctrl/Shift-multiselect
items in the Excluded Folders list and thus easily remove a whole
bunch of them.
v4.20.0020 - 24.10.05 13:38
+ Tree ctx menu: added command "Open in New Background Tab". Opens
the clicked folder in a new tab without actually selecting the tab
and listing the folder's contents.
+ You can as well "Open in New Background Tab" by simply holding
Ctrl and Shift when clicking a tree node.
* Holding Ctrl and/or Shift while clicking the menu command does not
have any effect anymore (in v4.20.0019 this had led to 2 new tabs).
* List behavior: if multi-selected items are moved or deleted, the
new focus/selection (after auto-refresh) is now set to the position
of the first selected (now gone) item. Before, the line of the
before-focused item was refocused, which does not make a lot of
sense.
v4.20.0019 - 23.10.05 17:39
! Issue with popup menu location on multi-monitors systems. Fixed
(?).
! Removed some glitches with preview of MS Office formats.
! Alt-Return in the list-view would sometimes bring up the wrong
properties dialog. Fixed.
+ Now you can "Open in New Tab" by simply holding Shift when
clicking a tree node.
BTW, of course you should not redundantly hold Shift while you
click the context menu command "Open in New Tab": then you'd get 2
new tabs.
* Tree ctx menu, Open in New Tab: does not touch the expanded state
of the node anymore. Before it did automatically expand the node.
* Reports are now independent of file attributes. Before hidden
files and folders were not reported if they were hidden and not
shown (if "Show Hidden Files and Folders" = Off). In other words,
hidden files and folders are now always reported, even if they are
currently not shown.
* "Backup To" is now independent of file attributes. Before hidden
files and folders were not backupped/recursed if they were hidden
and not shown (if "Show Hidden Files and Folders" = Off). In other
words, hidden files and folders are now always backupped, even if
they are currently not shown.
v4.20.0017 - 19.10.05 18:54
! Preview of MS Office formats did not work when "Auto-refresh on
file system changes" was active. Reason: the Accessed date of Office
documents is reset by the opening application in the moment they are
opened; this change lead to an immediate refresh which again lead to
an immediate closing of the just opened files. Well, it's fixed.
v4.20.0015 - 19.10.05 18:00
+ Added preview of the following MS Office formats:
DOC, DOT, RTF, PPT, XLS, CSV.
Note that they are all previewed through Internet Explorer, so
they will appear as if you loaded them into your (IE) browser.
+ Menu View/Show Folder Sizes: added shortcut Shift+F5.
! Fixed scrolling problems (includung a couple of side-effects) with
file listings > 32767 items.
v4.20.0014 - 18.10.05 12:30
= NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main changes since last release:
- Dramatic speed improvements at gathering files (browsing
and finding). Accessing networks drives got faster, too.
- Drag'n'drop on tab headers now can select a tab: if you hover your
dragging mouse over a tab header for a second the tab will gain
focus. Let's call it "Delayed Dual-Pane" (infact Multi-Pane).
- Added zip-extraction per drag'n'drop.
- Added Favorites to Move To, Copy To, and Backup To menus. Now you
can easily move, copy, and backup to your Favorites.
- Various bug fixes.
v4.20.0012 - 12.10.05 18:32
+ Menu View/Sort By: now the sort direction (Ascending/Descending)
is displayed along with the column name. Re-click the checked menu
to reverse the direction.
+ List view: right-clicking the line number column header (#) now
pops up the Sort By column menu.
v4.20.0010 - 10.10.05 15:13
! Crash (error 91) when closing the app while certain context menus
were being displayed. Fixed.
+ List context menu in find mode: added command "Go to Focused
Item", which does the same as pressing Ctrl+LeftArrow: browse to the
focused item. Quite useful when your search includes deeply nested
subfolders or huge lists.
* When trying to close a home tab (a tab with home defined) you now
have to answer an "Are you sure..." question first.
* When trying to close all other tabs (including home tabs) you now
have to answer an "Are you sure..." question first.
v4.20.0009 - 09.10.05 13:07
+ Added "Rename" to the tree's right-click (context) menu.
* If a normal (F2) rename operation fails because you stated an
illegal name or a name already existing, the rename box will now
stay open until you succeed or explicitly quit renaming.
! Accelerators (underlined access letters) and focus rect (dotted
line around focused control) have been missing from the app's
windows under XP (and certain further conditions). Fixed.
v4.20.0005 - 07.10.05 10:50
! Crash when files with illegal dates (eg 28977-01-30 05:25:11) were
to
be listed. Fixed. Such dates will now be displayed crashless and
with a leading question mark, eg "? 28977-01-30 05:25:11",
signaling high improbability.
! After deleting a folder from the tree using the right mouse button
and selecting the "Delete" option, the tree and list display was not
correctly updated. Fixed.
v4.20.0004 - 06.10.05 12:00
+ Configuration, General: added checkbox "Report the disk space
used". If checked the folder sizes displayed in the file list are
based on the actually occupied clusters of each folders' contents.
If unchecked the folder sizes are just the byte sum of all contained
files. The two values will differ strongly for folders with many
small files.
v4.20.0003 - 05.10.05 12:39
* What has been introduced to v4.20.0001 under "General File Info...
all kinds of selection methods" had to be withdrawn. Too many evil
side-effects. Now everything is as it was before: to display a
file's General File Info you have to click it.
* Folder size calculation is now independent of file attributes.
Before hidden files and folders were not counted if they were not
shown (Show Hidden Files and Folders = Off).
* Folder size in file list (if selected in Configuration) now
reports the used space of all contents, not the mere byte sum. Only
this way, the size unit "clusters" is meaningful.
% Folder size calculation is now about 25% faster for NT/2K/XP.
v4.20.0001 - 04.10.05 11:44
% Accessing networks drives again faster.
! File View: lines containing tab characters would not be fully
visible. Fixed.
* General File Info tab, time-stamping selected files: If the
General File Info tab is visible, you can now get the currently
focused file's file infos displayed by all kinds of selection
methods (eg keyboard-selection like Ctrl+A, mouse-drag-selection,
Selection Filter menu etc.). Before this was possible only by click-
selection.
Purpose: easier access to the time-stamping interface, especially
when you want to time-stamp more than one file at once.
Note that the time fields are always prefilled with the data of
the focused file. This makes it easy to clone the data of a
particular file.
Leave a time field empty to set the time-stamp to the current time
(the exact time when you click the ugly green "Apply"-symbol).
v4.20.0000 - 03.10.05 13:42
* New version number: it's a new month, it's a new speed, and it's
loads of new power features.
Version 4.2 is tributed to Douglas Adams.
+ MP3 Info Tips: added MP3 length field (playing time).
