      [Settings]
      SortMixedOnDates=1

  • * 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.

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.

  • * Configuration | Tag | Database Clean-Up: Now also the capitalization of the item names is checked and corrected if necessary.
  • * Find Files: Now found items are displayed at once in the search results list. Before, they were displayed in packets of at least 64 items, which meant that you would not see any results for a while even if there were results already.
  • ! List: Opening media files associated with Media Player by dbl-click did not work anymore since last version. Fixed.
  • ! List: Opening various types of executable files (e.g. *.vbs) by dbl-click did not work anymore since last version. Fixed.
  • * Find Files: Now the capitalization of the path spec in the Location field is internally auto-corrected (you won't see this in the GUI) when a search is triggered.

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

  • * Rewrote opening a file with the shell-associated application (triggered e.g. by Dbl-Click or Enter on a file in the list). Now it should correctly trigger the default command for the file type as defined in the registry, including any command line switches. Before, those command line switches had been ignored.
  • * Backup: Backup log is now opened from "View log?" prompt with PFA-associated app (if any). Before, it was opened using the shell-associated application.
  • ! Find Files: After a metadata search or tag/cmt search you could not do a normal name search anymore because a flag was not reset internally. Fixed.
  • ! Find Files: With search results to "Current tab" the tab caption and location was not always correctly updated. Fixed.
  • ! Address Bar: Could become unresponsive for a while when typing into the edit box while unavailable network locations where listed in the Address Bar's MRU dropdown. Fixed.
  • ! Catalog: Shift+Del did not work anymore to remove an item from Catalog without prompt. Fixed.
