v3.50.0117 - 23.07.04 12:07
    * Age units are now correctly pluralized: "1 year", "2 years".
v3.50.0113 - 22.07.04 11:18
    + Thumbs cache got smarter: whenever an image file is updated, the cache 
      is immediately updated too. Note: since this gain in smartness involves 
      a change in the cache makeup, your previous cache files will all be 
      rewritten.
    + While processing thumbs the status bar message now shows
      [thumb number] of [total thumb number].
    * Age now shows seconds as well.

v3.50.0111 - 21.07.04 14:55
    + Configuration/Thumbs: Thumbnail width and height is now mildly 
      configurable. You can choose between 96 and 72 pixels for each 
      dimension. When you work a lot with digital photos, which usually have a 
      4:3 proportion, a setting of width=96 and height=72 is perfect for you: 
      more visible rows in the file list, and about 25% smaller cache files.
      Note, that the cache files for each of the now 4 possible thumb sizes 
      are kept independently of each other: thus you can switch between 
      thumbnail sizes in a blink -- with Explorer, you have to reboot Windows 
      to do that!
    + Thumbs mode is now remembered between sessions.      
    ! Minor alignment bug when renaming bold tree nodes. Fixed.
    * When trying to jump to a favorite folder that is hidden or in a hidden 
      path, and you opted to not show hidden folders, you'll get a message now 
      that tells you so.
    Drag'n'Drop Context Menu Tree:
    * Renamed "Create Folder Structure Here" to "Create Branche(s) Here".
    + Added "Create Folder(s) Here": copies all top level folders in the 
      dropped packet to the drop target without the contained files. So it's 
      the flat version of "Create Branche(s) Here". Very handy feature to quickly
      create some folders by simply drag-dropping them to their birth-place.

v3.50.0109 - 20.07.04 13:58
    + Added some smart flexibility to the thumb display: the file list's row 
      height will only be increased IF there are any thumbnails in that list.
v3.50.0108 - 19.07.04 14:17
    + Added *.PSD format to image preview. PSD files (Photoshop Documents) 
      can include embedded thumbnail previews, and TrackerV3 learned how to 
      show them. Of course, *.PSD is now also part of TrackerV3's own thumbnail 
      preview.
      Note that with PSD files, you can preview only the embedded thumbnail, 
      not the original sized image.
v3.50.0107 - 19.07.04 10:21
    * Moved the "[Show] Thumbnails" menu command to the View/Show Columns 
      submenu, because it belongs there. This menu also opens when you right-
      click the column headers.

    ! Font Preview: Crashed on certain *.FON files. Fixed.
    ! Under certain conditions, infinite loop after drag'n'drop from search 
      results. Fixed.
v3.50.0101 - 12.07.04 20:10
    ! File rename, Tree: when renaming a file with a name too long to fit in 
      TV3's window, the edit box cursor would go off the screen. Fixed.

* Favorites handling rewritten for internal reasons. In consequence your
topmost favorite will be missing from the list. Just re-add it manually
(CTRL+B).

Looks like you'll have to add this note to the readme or download page for the next official version, as people may report it as a bug (which it is).

    + Now hidden items are shown with ghosted icons. "Show hidden files and 
      folders" (Configuration/General) must be checked of course, to see the 
      ghosts.
v3.50.0096 - 04.07.04 13:36
    ! When a removable media (CD, DVD) was removed while it was current 
      tree folder and Auto-Refresh was on, that media's volume name was 
      "eternally" hooked to the now empty drive-letter. Fixed.
    * Hilited Folder: now with border around hilite box, looks better.

v3.50.0089 - 30.06.04 12:53
    + Configuration/General: "Show hidden files and folders".
      Before, hidden system folders like "System Volume Information" and 
      "Recycler" or files like "C:\boot.ini" or "desktop.ini" were 
      invariably shown although you rarely need to see them. What's more, 
      operations on these items are often disallowed by the system or 
      dangerous.
      Now, these items are not shown by default unless you check "Show 
      hidden files and folders".
      If hidden, those items won't also be found by a search nor listed in 
      reports.

      (CTRL+B).
    + Menu Favorites/Toggle Grey Branch is now saved between sessions.
      I also added a fashionable border to it.
v3.50.0076 - 25.06.04 20:32
    ! Find files with ORed name patterns listed all hits for each pattern, so 
      that files matching more than one pattern were also listed more than 
      once. Fixed.
    * Find Files, "Look in" combo: Changed the OR operator for multi-
      directory search from ";" to " | ", eg:
        E:\TestFiles\FindLogic\ | D:\FileView\
      searches these two directories.
    * Find Files: changed the search logic operators:
        " & " is logical AND  (previously "/")
        " | " is logical OR   (previously ";")
      Mind the spaces, they are part of the operators. Example:
        Named: Bill & Monica | Bill & Elected
      = Boolean: ("Bill" AND "Monica") OR ("Bill" AND "Elected")
    * Find Files, escaping operators:
      If searching eg for "Bill & Monica.jpg" you can escape the "&"-
      character with "\":
        Named: Bill \& Monica.jpg
      This is only necessary when & is preceded and followed by a space, 
      otherwise it's not recognized as Boolean AND anyway. The "|"-character 
      (OR) does not have to be escaped because it cannot be part of a valid 
      filename.      
v3.50.0075 - 25.06.04 11:47
    + Menu File (= context menu for files):
      New command "File Path": copy path of focused file to clipboard.
    * Menu File (= context menu for files):
      Renamed "Filename with Path" to "File Path/Name".
    + Menu Favorites/Toggle Hilite Current Folder: hilite is now saved
      between sessions.
v3.50.0074 - 24.06.04 19:52
    + The bucket: new feature for advanced users with good short-term memories.
      It's all keyboard-driven, and here are the new cut/copy/paste keyboard 
      shortcuts for tree and list:
        Ctrl+C: copy selected files/folders (fresh bucket).
                Empties bucket if nothing is selected.
        Ctrl+Shift+C: copy selected files/folders (add to current bucket).
                Switch from cut to copy if nothing is selected.
        Ctrl+X: cut selected files/folders (fresh bucket).
                Empties bucket if nothing is selected.
        Ctrl+Shift+X: cut selected files/folders (add to current bucket).
                Switch from copy to cut if nothing is selected.
        Ctrl+V: paste bucket to current location.
                If files are moved (ie cut/pasted) the bucket is automatically 
                emptied when the operation is completed.
        Ctrl+D: empty the bucket (necessary only to free a couple of memory bytes).
      Note that this bucket works independent of mouse/menu-driven 
      cut/copy/paste: what you copy by keys you must paste by keys.

v3.50.0073 - 22.06.04 23:00
    + Menu Favorites/Toggle Hilite Current Folder: throws a bright yellow 
      hilite on the current folder. It's 8 pixels wider than the selection 
      rectangle to keep it visible when the folder is selected.
      Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+H
      Note: this property is not preserved between sessions.
    + Menu Favorites/Toggle Hilite Current Branch: draws a light gray 
      rectangle on the background of the whole branch.
      Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+J
      Note: this property is not preserved between sessions.
v3.50.0069 - 21.06.04 12:27
    % List view: better display update strategy when listing folder contents.
      Before, the display was updated at a binary progression pace: 1, next 
      2, next 4, next 8 etc... and when all items were gathered (in an order 
      provided by the file system), the list was sorted and then re-
      displayed in the current user-defined sort order.
      Now, the progressive update strategy is only used for folders 
      containing more than 128 items. The splendid result is: less 
      intermediate screen activity (aka flicker) when browsing most of your 
      folders, and the browsing is faster, too, because there's less 
      painting to be done.
    + New keyboard shortcuts:
      Ctrl+Tab:       cycle thru Info Panel tabs (forward)
      Ctrl+Shift+Tab: cycle thru Info Panel tabs (backward)
    * Tree: now, if a bold folder is renamed the edit box font is bold, too.

    * Made the tree nodes' focus rect a bit wider. Looks better and is a 
      larger target to hit.    
    + When you rename a favorite folder the favorites are automatically 
      updated now so that the link is kept alive. Note, that this works only 
      with single renames (by pressing F2 or MouseDown on selected item), but 
      not with "Rename Special" (context menu).
  !!! Preview: when an image was "Too large to preview" and you then clicked 
      on the preview area, the app crashed. Fixed.
   *% Images with an area larger than 4 times the screen area are no longer
      previewed. However, you still get all the details of those huge 
      pictures, and this works much faster now than before.
    ! Preview: 32-bit jpeg files are now correctly interpreted as 32-bit 
      (was "24-bit" before).
    + List multiselection: after using SHIFT-click to select the first group 
      of files, you couldn't then use CTRL-click followed by CTRL-SHIFT-click 
      to select the next group. Now you can.

v3.50.0063 - 16.06.04 16:42
    ! Special folders' real path vs mirror path confusion bug: eg you closed 
      TrackerV3 at the real location of the "My Documents" folder, but it 
      would re-open at the special mirror location (under the root) of that 
      same folder (same story with the "Desktop" folder). This confusion also 
      surfaced at the main title bar, the "Rebuild Tree" command, the "Go" 
      history, the "Look in" combo and other places. Fixed.
