What's New in Version 1.5
New Features:
The
folder tree will now refresh if a CD-ROM disk is inserted in or removed from the
drive. Note that "Auto notification" must be enable from the Windows
Control Panel. Also, this operation will be aborted if ZipTrac is engaged in
certain operations such as scanning folders, extracting descriptions, etc.
Bug fixes and modifications:
Minor
code modifications to eliminate compiler warnings and to fix a couple of
possible memory leaks.
What's New in Version 1.4
New Features:
When dragging a file or folder a
highlighted target folder with subfolders will automatically expand if you pause
briefly over the folder. This allows you to "drill down" to the
desired subfolder while dragging.
A new option has been added to the
Preferences Dialog that will let you turn on addition of files without a
description throught the program. If you are creating a catalog, extracting
description to the Description View Window, or updating a catalog those files
will be marked with "No description in archive". A feature added in
V1.3 will let you remove these entries at any time.
Bug fixes and modifications:
Description lines longer than 512
characters were not handled properly. Fixed.
What's New in Version 1.3
New Features:
You
can now rename a folder from the directory tree simply by slowly clicking the
folder name to open a small edit window.
Drag
and drop has been implemented for folders as well as files. The directory tree
will automatically scroll up or down when near the top or bottom of the
directory tree window.
When
using the "Open" command from the File List Window popup menu you will
now get a detailed error message if the file cannot be opened. Previously the
function would simply exit with no feedback to the user.
If
you elect to add file entries to a catalog that do not contain a description
when running the Update Catalog Dialog you can now quickly remove all of these
entries later if you wish.
Bug fixes and modifications:
Better
detection of multiple instances has been added. Under previous versions it
was possible to start multiple instances of ZipTrac if they were started in
rapid succession.
Occasionally,
when deleting several catalogs, file system errors would occur. Fixed.
Added
detection of missing catalog root folders when updating descriptions, repairing
catalogs, or removing invalid entries.
Resolved
a couple of anomalies with grayed selections in the main menu.
When
checking a catalog for updated descriptions there was no way to get out of the
routine once it found missing files unless you allowed the program to removed
orphaned descriptions. It will now exit if you answer "No" when asked
if you would "...like to do this now?".
What's New in Version 1.2
Bug fixes and modifications:
When scanning your entire system the
catalog save function would fail. This has been fixed.
When unzipping an archive the overwrite
option now reads "Overwrite older files only" instead of
"Overwrite newer files.
What's New in Version 1.1
New Features:
You can now change the drive letter designations within a catalog if your
hardware configuration changes or you move folders to a different drive.
Archive date/time stamps are now stored in the catalog.
The Update Catalog feature will include files that have been modified since they
were last cataloged. This allows you to modify archive descriptions and easily
update a catalog to include the latest description. This feature can also be run
stand-alone for greater convenience.
You can now modify an archive description from the catalog browser as well as
edit only the description in the catalog. These changes can be immediately made
to the catalog if desired.
When browsing a catalog the file list window will "follow" the
description window if you click a description. This makes it much easier to
browse the descriptions and go directly to a file in the list if you want to
modify the description in the archive, remove it from the catalog, or unzip it.
A
button was added to the description viewer that will pop open the archive
description editor. Now, when you double click a zip file to see the
description, you can go immediately to the editor if you want to make changes.
Bug fixes and modifications:
When browsing a catalog the program would crash if you attempted to open a
catalog that does not exist and then tried to edit a description in the current
catalog.
Hidden folders were reported as files if the user had chosen not to process
hidden or system file (from Program Preferences). This has been fixed.
When selecting a storage location for catalogs from the preferences dialog the
folder selection tree will now default to the first hard drive if the previously
selected folder no longer exists. This prevents the system from attempting to
access the floppy drive unnecessarily.
All folder selection browse trees now open to the current folder displayed in
the edit box. If the folder does not exist the tree will default to the first
hard drive.
When modifying catalog entries the description window in the catalog browser now
updates much more quickly.
Sort order (file name, folder, or file size) in the File List Window is now
remembered as you change directories.
