    + Menu Tools: added command Recycle Bin Stats. It's just a little 
      message box that tells you relatively quick the total number and 
      size of items currently in the recycle bin. Just in case you 
      wanted to know...
    ! Menu View, Refresh Tree: did not recognize the appearance of new 
      childs of generation three (grandchilds of drives) and higher. 
      Fixed.    
    ! Info Panel, Report, Current Folder: fixed some minor alignment 
      issues.

Many thanks ! I do appreciate all these little tweaks that you add for us.

I hope that some of them also make the product yet more appealing for others in the future.

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.

    ! 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.

XP is much better than previous Windows at managing memory and staying up for days and weeks. But individual programs can still create problems within their own memory area.

So, shutting down Windows and letting it close applications allows one to reset all those individual memory spaces.

I'd really like to know how to do this without shutting Windows! There should be a way. Or maybe some software, a memory manager or so...

... ever thought about private license (additional benifits?) like somethig around 15-20?

The private home license is free, and the prof license is not. Let's keep it simple.

The "[free home license ...]" bit is the only difference in the product between the two licenses, and it has to stay.

I cannot do a market research, but I would like to know if there's a general feeling that the price is too high? Do not answer here, please, I'll open a new topic... here: http://www.trackerv3.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=414

In my opinion you shouldn't even close it

But is it not also bad practice to close Windows with applications open? So TrackerV3 must be closed before shutting down the system.

AFAIK, Windows closes any open applications as part of its shutdown process.

Yes, but you don't have to shut down Windows when you shut down your computer: if you don't know that look out for "XP hibernation".

But then you lose any advantages of shutting down - ie clearing memory.

XP is much better than previous Windows at managing memory and staying up for days and weeks. But individual programs can still create problems within their own memory area.

So, shutting down Windows and letting it close applications allows one to reset all those individual memory spaces.

Is there an option (by donating?) to remove the "[free home license ...]" bit in the heading?

Sure, man: buy it!

Guessed that - but haven´t got €40 right now - ever thought about private license (additional benifits?) like somethig around 15-20?

In 4.20.0014 choosing View->Date Format->No Time gives me the full date including time in hh:mm.ss format.

Indeed! I wonder why it ever worked... I guess it still works under Win9x but never worked under 2K/XP. Thanks!

Sorry,
dunno whether this should go here or in bugs...

In 4.20.0014 choosing View->Date Format->No Time gives me the full date including time in hh:mm.ss format.

Is there an option (by donating?) to remove the "[free home license ...]" bit in the headin?. I'm well aware of this fact and you stated quite clearly during installation that a license kay would be needed for professional use.
Suggestion: As a compromise remove the notice after the 10th start... (Yeah - would need a registry key...)

Above all GREAT PIECE OF SOFTWARE!

Came here from ExplorerXP and bound to stay...

Feature request: Recycle Bin/Control Panel in Folder Tree.

THANK YOU!

  +++ 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.

    + 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.

    ! 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.

    + 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.

    ! 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.
