Version 1.3.0.0 Released

Release notes for version 1.3.0.0 follow:
  • Added support for NT4 (service pack 6 with Internet Explorer 5.0 or greater)..

  • Removed the "hot tracking" style on the primary detail view. This was not consistent with the report lists or the need to double-click a folder to drill into it.

  • Added support for UNC paths in the toolbar "path" combo box. Now you can enter network paths directly - as long as they can be accessed without error, they will be scanned by FolderSizes. Note that FolderSizes currently will not prompt for authentication details if they are required to access a network share (make sure you auth in advance of running the scan).

  • Added support for dragging and dropping folders into FolderSizes from Windows Explorer (or Windows shell). Simply drop a folder name onto the detail view to initiate a FolderSizes scan.

  • Vastly improved handling of errors that occur during the folder/drive scanning process. Now if an error occurs during scanning, once the scan has completed a small warning icon/text will be displayed in the status bar, prompting the user to double-click that location for further details. The folder scan error details window will reveal the path of each scanning error and the cause of the error.

  • Resolved a problem with FolderSizes reporting incorrect sizes for very large files (over 4GB).

  • Resolved a problem where invalidate file date/time values would cause FolderSizes to throw an odd error and stop scanning a folder.
