v8.70.0102 - 2009-12-10 12:06

BETA versions are now only available for registered users.
Find the download link at the bottom of the License Lounge.

  • + Configuration | General: Added option "Mixed sort on date columns". Check to use a mixed sort (mix folders and files when sorting) always on the Date columns. This promotes the former tweak "SortMixedOnDates" to a GUI setting.
  • + Menu Tools | List Management: Added command "Mini Tree". Here you can edit the current Mini Tree. Note that in a Mini Tree definition the first path points to the current path.
  • + Toolbar | Mini Tree | Context Menu: Added command "Edit Mini Tree...". Opens the List Management dialog for Mini Tree.
  • ! Generic icons for network locations were drawn too generic when the tree was locked. Fixed.
  • ! Startup on a locked maxi tree did not select the current folder if it was visible. Fixed.

BETA versions are now only available for registered users.
Find the download link at the bottom of the License Lounge.

  • ! The tweak to make dropping images from Firefox 3 work did not work with Firefox 3.5. Fixed.
    The tweak itself has not changed:
      [General]
      WorkAroundFirefox3ImageDropBug=1
    If set to 1, the images are actually *downloaded* from their web location to your harddisk into the current folder.
  • ! Image Preview: Some formats (e.g. BMP, GIF) would not be previewed on some systems when they had non-ANSI characters in the name. Fixed.
  • ! Locked Tree: When choosing an unavailable location in the Tree the List remained blocked when going to an available location via tab change. Fixed.
  • ! Info Panel | Report: Non-ANSI characters are not supported in report file names. Before you were allowed to use them anyway and run into trouble. Fixed. Now you are politely asked to choose another name.

      [Settings]
      SortMixedOnDates=1
  • ! Tabs: Unnaming a tab would revert always to the "Full path" caption format temporarily. Fixed.

BETA versions are now only available for registered users.

  • * Configuration | Tabs: Rewrote the customization of the tab captions. Now you have a dropdown "Tab captions" with 3 choices:
      - Full path
      - Folder only
      - Custom
    The last one can be further defined by using the Custom button.
    While the factory default is
      <drive>: <folder>
    you can do anything that crosses your mind, e.g.
      <folder> (<drive>)
      <folder> on <drive>:
      etc.
  • * Configuration | File Info Tips: The list below "Show custom file info tips" is now always enabled. Makes it easier to see what's available even when the checkbox is not ticked.
  • ! Configuration | Tag | Database Clean-Up: When you chose "Check fixed drives only", it only left the drive letter and tag number for the other drives (bug since v8.70.0005). Fixed.
  • ! List: Opening files with the shell-associated application still failed in some instances. Fixed #4.

v8.70.0008 - 2009-12-05 19:20

  • ! List: Opening files with the shell-associated application still failed in some instances. Fixed #3.

BETA versions are now only available for registered users.

  • + SC getinfo got a new named argument "regcmd". Rather for debugging purposes (but who knows) this is a way to quickly retrieve the default verb and command line (the one triggered by dbl-click) for any registered file type from the registry.
    Syntax: getinfo("regcmd", extension)
      extension: [required] any registered file extension
      return:    Verb=Command
                 Nothing if the extension does not exist.
    For example, the following line:
      text getinfo("regcmd", "mp3");
    will return (on my system)
      Play="C:\Programme\Winamp\winamp.exe" "%1"
    which is made of the verb and value of this key:
      HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Winamp.File.MP3\shell\Play\command
  • ! List: Opening files with the shell-associated application still failed in some instances. Fixed #2.

  • + Preview: Added audio format FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec). As always you just need the codec on your system to actually be able to preview *.flac files.
  • * Manage User-Defined Commands Dialog: Removed the buttons Apply and Reset from the Command Properties section. From now on any command property changes are auto-applied. To undo any changes you made simply Cancel the dialog.
  • * List Management Dialog: Slightly reorganized the buttons. Now the Browse button sits right under the Edit button.
  • ! List: Opening files with the shell-associated application still failed in some instances. Fixed.
