V1.51

The following changes have been completed since the release of v1.5 and are included in v1.51:

New Features

Search & Replace in editor added.
Added Skip and All options to Directory exists, merge with source? warning.
Added function to create new archive (Shift-F5).
Enhanced directory compare with date/size/contents options.
Option added to delete confirm dialog to force delete files like "DEL /F" does.
Ctrl-Shift-J copies current file name to the clipboard.
Full support for volumes larger than 4GB.

Minor Enhancements

Speed up reading ZIPs.
After Shift-F4, move cursor to file just edited.
Add ! function list to online help of editor when editing user menus.
If both panels are viewing archives, don't give error immediately after pressing F5. Instead give a path to the current panel (directory of archive).
Number of files & bytes in the Info panel are now in highlight colour.
Hex value of character under cursor added to edit status line.
New colour config dialog. Now easier to add more colour options.
Cursor now follows a renamed file/dir.
Redirection that looks like 2> (redirect only stderr) is now understood by FC/2's CLI.
Cleaned up error message in info line on drive read failure. Full text of error is now visible in the Info panel.
Right mouse button click in editor now performs a page up/down.
Removed 80 character limit on search text.
Added Ctrl-X/C/V as Cut/Copy/Paste in editor & dialogs.

Bug Fixes

In Date/Time editor, 0's were being suppressed
When using only 1 panel, pressing Ctrl-L twice would give you two.
Could get two info panels by selecting 'Info' from the Left/Right menu.
Files in an archive that start with a character > 127 wouldn't show up.
When extracting a directory from a subdirectory in an archive and target directory already exists, error "Directory already exists, cannot overwrite" occurs.
When starting edit, the character code in status line wasn't the character the cursor is on, but the first character of the line.
In older (pre v2) RAR archives, directories would show up as 0 length files.
If archive being viewed in one panel is deleted in the other, first panel would still show archive contents.
When attempting to F5-Copy to a non-existant directory, the error message should give the invalid destination path not the source file/directory name.
Should be able to delete the contents of a directory even if some process has it as current. Just can't delete the directory itself.
Attempting to enter certain files as a self extractor would crash.
Some types of ZIP self extractors weren't recognized.
Ctrl-Left/Right in viewer didn't work with NumPad arrows.
If mouse hasn't been moved, F9 would always select Left menu even if right panel is current.
Copying files with spaces in their names from a RAR failed.
Mouse scrolling in history window didn't work.
Scrolling in history window was broken.
File names starting with a '-' need to be quoted when passed to an archiver.
Netware drives with volume names longer than 11 characters were unreadable.
Extracting tagged directories from a RAR didn't extract directory's contents.
Fixed RAR reading code where subdir in a subdir was showing as a file as well.
!i prompt doesn't resize if text is larger than default box size.
Text search in viewer hex mode would highlight wrong position.
Alt-O in viewer displays partial line at top causing up arrow to give duplicate text.
Viewing a file in an archive would leave the text cursor on (full screen only).
Recalling stored path to the root of an empty drive gave an 'Invalid directory' error.
Trying to enter a ZIP who's name starts with a space failed.
Adding a tagged file with spaces in its name to a ZIP failed.
Deleting a tagged file with spaces in its name from a ZIP failed.
Directory names in an archive were being analysed case-insensitively.
When holding down SHIFT, the key bar didn't show F8's function.
When overwriting files with 'Overwrite all' option, case of target file remained instead of being replaced by source file.
Pressing END on a help page that was shorter than one page would crash.
If Shift-F4 calls an external editor and either panel is off, the dialog failed to clear properly.
Info panel didn't handle archives with 0 total uncompressed size.
If 'Size Count Pause' enabled, sometimes the final update to the stats display wasn't being done.

I would like to thank all of the Beta testers, who have made an invaluable contribution to the quality of File Commander/2.
