What's new in release 0.7.1a

Removed an old time-limit check which prevented the use of the prog on certain systems ! Sorry for that.

 

What's new in release 0.7.1 :

- Fixed a bug when using automount and supermount (like with Mandrake 7.x) : TkC cused to crash when attempting to mount a removable drive when no media was inserted. Fixed.

- When switching panels with TAB, it was not always possible to execute a command or command line immediately (by pressing ENTER). Fixed

 

What's new in release 0.7.0 :

Major Features:

- Archive management : tar, tgz, gz, bz2, zip. You can now explore any archive like a normal dir, using REAl or VIRTUAL modes. see reference.txt for details.

- Archive creation : you can create a new archive by pressing Alt-F5 or Shift-F5

- file search mode : press a letter moves to go 1st file begining with this letter; press it a 2nd time and you go to the next file begining with this letter, and so on...

- A new "HotDir" menu editor to classify you HotDirs (Alt-F1/F2 or Shift-F1/F2)

- added new keyboard shorcuts (see reference.txt).

- You can now classify files according to name, size, date or extension, adn reverse the sort order.

- File attributes are now copied.

- Added file permissions management, but only one file at a time for now (Chmod button or Ctrl-c).

- Internal and external editoras now have scrollbars.

- Function "add to start menu" now works correctly.

- Added a detailed "File Information" function.

- Added a function to remove annoying "core" files on disk.

- Added a simple image viewer with F3 (not all images types).

Minor news/fixes:

- You can now choose to force file "synchronisation", that is to flush cache after each copy/rename/move/delete operation for security purpose (mostly useful for floppies). Drawback : it is slower than "non-sync" file operation.

- Shift-F4 used to work only on the left panel ! (sorry)

- Fixed a focus problem when unfolding a dir-menu (Alt-F1 orAlt-F2) in the non-active panel

- Fixed selection problems : when using PatternSelection/Deselection, files selected in the background used to loose apparent selection (they were still selected anyway).

note : 0.6.9 was a pre-release of 0.7.0, so its main new features are described in 0.7.0

 

What's new in release 0.6.5 :

- You now have a REAL configuration editor :-)) (but it's not finished yet).

- The status bar didn't always update immediately. Fixed.

- Fixed some focus bugs which occured after executing "Enter" commands.

- Cursor didn't reappear immediately after the command "add to hotdir list". Fixed

- Fixed some copy/rename/move bugs.

- When you used to exit viewer or editor with F10, an error message would appear. Fixed

- Slightly modified the copy and rename/move entry boxes to make it easier and faster.

- This realease has been better tested and seems rather stable.

- You can now create a new file to edit by pressing Shift-F4 instead of F4.

- New keyboard shorcuts (see reference.txt).

- File names containing SPACES (generally DOS) can now be used.

- prefs are saved even if Main window is closed by the upper right cross.

 

Main new features in release 0.6.4 :

- The full name didn't always appeared in the upper gray status bar. Fixed.

- Space Bar is now working correctly (no more selected files when requesting dir size). - Improved the efficiency of the "dir size" (SPACE or Ctrl+z) command. - When using, the Ctrl+Left keys to equalise left and right dirs, right dir used to go "up one dir". Fixed.

- Some dirs, like /etc, where not completely read. Fixed.

- Bugs when attempting to edit a non-editable file corrected.

- Better windows centering. - Remembers the working directories on exit. - The lower copy progression indicator was blocked at 100%. Fixed.

 

What's new in release 0.6.3 :

- Display of the current mounted disk, and global disk usage. - Mouse works much better (at last!)

- Some speed improvements (yes, I have a slow machine !)

- The "getsize" function (Space or Ctrl+Z key) now works properly (it had some bugs with certain files before)

- Added disk information in the upper line: displays the root disk and the free and total space on it.

- Improved the look of the Copy/Rename/Move/Delete progression windows.

- Better key compatibility with the original norton-commanders.

- Better management of the Focus and of the update when you change to another app.

- Improved the PageUp/PageDown command -> now adapted to the window size.

- Added Link management
