Bug fixes:

  • In Windows 7 when closing a tab, the wrong taskbar preview pane would be closed (i.e. the taskbar preview pane for another tab would be closed instead).

  • Fixed a crash that occurred when collapsing a node in the treeview.

  • When single-click activation was enabled, and an area in the listview was selected, any file under the mouse when it was released would be opened. Fixed.

  • Fixed Open Parent in New Tab bug (parent of current tab would always be opened, regardless of which tab was clicked).

  • When opening a folder in a locked tab, the newly created tab was not switched to correctly (which caused directory modifications to fail, for example). Fixed.

  • Fixed toolbar bug (when a button was added or removed from a toolbar, the length of the toolbar would be reset, causing it to resize).

  • Fixed listview gridline issue (Windows XP only).

  • Under certain circumstances, translation DLL's would still be loaded, even if they did not match the current version. Fixed.

  • Filename extension is now hidden correctly (if required) in details view.

  • Size column now remains right aligned after sorting.

  • When allow multiple instances was not set, and a new instance was started, it would not restore the previous window correctly if it was minimized. Fixed.

  • Summary information stream codepage wasn't being checked. Fixed.

  • Fixed control panel handling bug.

  • Fixed drag and drop memory leak.

  • Fixed bugs in mouse wheel handler.

  • Fixed bug in options dialog (apply button not enabled when changing size selection in files and folders tab).

Misc:

  • Version number now takes the form: Major.Minor.Micro.Revision.

  • Improved drag and drop interoperability.

  • File sizes are now formatted according to the current system locale.

  • When collapsing the direct parent of the current folder in the treeview, the listview selection would change to the parent. Now works when collapsing multiple levels.

  • The Size On Disk, Total Size, and Free Space columns are now right aligned.
