    ! 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.

:!: Note: I just noticed the MS Office format preview does work only if "auto-refresh on file system changes" is off! I'm working on it...

    = 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.

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".

I close Windows only every 2 weeks or so. Normally I shut down my computer to hibernation state. But that's an XP only feature AFAIK.

Download the latest TrackerV3 BETA version (v4.20.0010, 10-oct-2005).

Code: Select all

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.

Download the latest TrackerV3 BETA version (v4.20.0009, 09-oct-2005).

Code: Select all

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.

Had few dates that was set to year 1794.
In Windows-based applications, the range of valid dates is January 1, 100 through December 31, 9999. In other words: you can isolate your early dates either by column sorting or by Find-Files-by-date, then select them and mass-time-stamp.
Okay, no problem.

By the way, I have now register TrackerV3.
