! Zip-extraction per drag'n'drop now works.
! Incorrect auto-adjustment of column widths if using a proportional
font and depending on sort order. This bug slipped in with natural
numeric sort order. Fixed.

+ 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): you
can see where you drop, and you can drop your packet into any of
the tab's listed subfolders in one smooth move without clicking.
+ Configuration, General: added checkbox "Remember find mode between
sessions". Was hard-coded to True before, which means: when you
close the app in find mode it will start up in find mode the next
time and immediately re-run the last search.
! When dragging from another app onto TrackerV3 the mouse cursor was
not responsive to holding Shift or Ctrl keys, and it was generally
showing the wrong symbol (namely the shortcut symbol). Fixed.

%%% Well, I finally did what many others are doing, too: take a rather
streaming approach to file listing, ie retrieve certain hard-to-get
parts of the information (namely the icons) only when needed. This
leads to dramatic speed improvements at gathering files (browsing
and finding):
- 5 to 10 times faster on first file listing (hard disk access).
- Double speed on non-first file listings (OS cache access).
Hardly notable price: first-time scrolling long lists might feel a
bit sticky now, since the icons are collected on the fly.

% Accessing networks drives again faster.
! File View: lines containing tab characters would not be fully
visible. Fixed.
* General File Info tab, time-stamping selected files: If the
General File Info tab is visible, you can now get the currently
focused file's file infos displayed by all kinds of selection
methods (eg keyboard-selection like Ctrl+A, mouse-drag- selection,
Selection Filter menu etc.). Before this was possible only by click-
selection.
Purpose: easier access to the time- stamping interface, especially
when you want to time-stamp more than one file at once.
Note that the time fields are always prefilled with the data of
the focused file. This makes it easy to clone the data of a
particular file.
Leave a time field empty to set the time-stamp to the current time
(the exact time when you click the ugly green "Apply"-symbol).
Now that you ask: I could speed it up a bit for NT/2K/XP...The_Dude wrote:The speed improvements are noticeable, thanks !
Is any speed improvement possible in the Folder Size calculation and display ? Or is that already limited by factors beyond your control ?
Always counted. The size should show the total size of all the files and folders the folder contains, regardless of their attribute. Having said that; I've never found any use for folder size unless it shows the total size occupied on the disk, and takes into account cluster size. I only want to know total size of a folder to check if it will fit onto a destination drive (e.g. Zip) which may well have a different cluster size to the hard drive.admin wrote:Another question comes to my mind: currently Folder Size calculation is sensitive to "Show hidden files and folders". Does that make sense? Or should hidden files and folders always be counted?
All d'accord. Folder size will now show used space of all (incl hidden)contents.Gandolf wrote:Always counted.
