% Faster access to network drives.

This is great! Gotta admit it does work way faster now!! I used to have to wait a few seconds before I actually got the file list, now it's basiclly as fast on my local drives! Well done

Now pleeeaase give us proper different folder views for different tabs and I'll be happy :p

Chris, you have unlimited different folder views! Just open an instance of TV3 for each view and use the taskbar as tab strip!

    ? Experimentally I changed the status bar design to something 
      flatter and I think cooler. Disadvantage: the horizontal splitter 
      used for panel sizing is completely invisible and hence left to 
      the real connaisseurs... What do you think?

I like it too

I'm happy as it is, it was just a thought.

If you do want to make the separation between the main display and the panel more distinct, how difficult would it be to make the panel background (and tabs) a different colour?

I rather leave as it is (taking the background color from general system color settings). Works fine for me.

Doesn't bother me since I tend to use the keyboard to max / min the panel and when I use the mouse (as jacky said) I just move it until the cursor changes.

Everything else is looking good.

+++ Tree, highlighting folders

Excellent! Good thing you're crazy uh? (so we can all get addicted to TV3 )

yeah I like it About the disavantage, I don't really think it matters that much. Could be me, but as far as I'm concerned the horizontal splitter wasn't really visible anyway, looked more like the border of the statusbar.
So I guess people are just gonna take the mouse over there to see if they can resize it, and when then cursor changes they got their answer....

And the dbl-click in My Comp. is working again

  +++ Tree, highlighting folders: now you can set the colors of 
      Highlighted Folder and Boxed Branch on per-folder basis! As every 
      monkey knows, orientation in huge trees can get difficult; node and 
      branch coloring helps a lot. Now you can even give each of your drives 
      its own background color... another revolutionary TrackerV3-only 
      feature. Find the new commands under the Favorites menu, and as well 
      in a new submenu of the tree folders' context menu called "Mark".
    + Status bar: added permanent display of free space in GB.
      To gain a little space "objects" are now "items".
    ! After changing "Show hidden files and folders" only the current 
      tree branch was correctly adjusted. Fixed: now all branches are 
      correctly adjusted.

+ Added command to tree context menu: "Open in New Tab". Opens the selected folder in a new tab.

Yay, thanks! I always wondered why this wasn't around, but for some reason I didn't think to suggest it.

+++ Now you can choose the output tab of the search results!

Great, I love this

+ Lost your position in a monster tree? Here's the solution, a new mouse trick: dbl-click anywhere in the white of the tree to zap the current folder back into the viewport.

Yeah this is excellent, very usefull I think

  +++ Now you can choose the output tab of the search results! 
      You have 3 options (find them below the Find Now button on the 
      Find Files tab):
      (1) Current tab
          ... as it has been in the last 6 years of TrackerV3.
      (2) New tab
          ... always opens a fresh new tab for the results.
      (3) Search results tab
          ... sends the results to the tab that's named "Search results" 
          (this rule is hardcoded). If none of that name is existing, it 
          is automatically created.
      Note that these settings, although located on the Find Files tab, 
      are not stored tab-wise (as all the other find files settings) but 
      appwide. The reason: it would be logically and hence practically 
      confusing to store tab interaction rules with the individual tabs.
