Bug fixes:

  • When a new file was created, it would not always be put into rename mode automatically [Windows XP only].
  • Previously, the right click context menu would not be shown for some items. Fixed.
  • Fixed listview positioning bug.
  • If file extensions were hidden, and a filename started with a dot, no text would be shown for that item.
  • If file extensions were hidden in Explorer, they would be hidden in Explorer++ as well, regardless of settings. Fixed.
  • Drives are now added/removed correctly from the listview, treeview and drives toolbar.
  • If a cd/dvd was inserted/removed, the entire drive would be added/removed, even though the physical device had not changed. Fixed.
  • Files are now sorted using natural sort order (e.g. file2.txt comes before file19.txt).
  • If the folders pane had focus, and an item was selected, the file associated menus (such as properties) would be disabled incorrectly. Fixed.
  • Fixed several memory leaks.
  • Improved synchronization in details mode.
  • Improvements made to thumbnails mode.
  • Fixed window size issue.
  • Fixed address bar path issue.
  • Fixed thumbnail image positioning error.
  • Fixed back/forward menu bug.
  • Fixed directory monitoring bug.
  • In details mode, if the first column was removed and then added again, the other columns would not be shifted correctly.
  • Items on the "Send to" context submenu may not have worked correctly. Fixed.

Misc:

  • The format of the time and date fields now follows the system time and date format.
  • Clicking the views button on the main toolbar now cycles between the various views, rather than showing the drop-down menu.
  • A small delay has been added to the time between when a file is dragged over a tab, and focus is switched to that tab.
  • There is now a confirmation dialog shown when deleting a bookmark.
  • In empty folders viewed in details mode, each column now has its width set to a default value.
