Changes with File Commander 2.30
*) Trees now work in archives, including "Retain Dir Count".
*) OS/2: Typing "mode 100,40" in FC resets ROWS, but not COLUMNS
*) Prevent changing into a directory that you don't have rights to read.
EG the windows "System Volume Information" directory.
*) Fix bug where retained directory size counts would get reduced when
browsing directories containing hidden files with "hidden files" option
off.
*) Support file sizes >4GB in RAR archives.
*) Support ZIP files with more than 64k files.
*) Enable Ctrl/Alt/Shift-Fkey in user menu.
*) Add multi-file search/replace function to file finder (Ctrl-R).
*) Win32: Scroll wheel support in viewer, editor & file panels.
*) OS/2: Added extra validation to guard against malformed .LONGNAME EAs.
*) OS/2: Support >2GB files on redirected standard I/O.
*) Editor: Ctrl-Space wouldn't copy characters >127
*) Add syntax highlighting to the editor.
*) Make Alt-F9 more like Shift-Alt-F9 in that it toggles between 25, 50 &
custom number of lines.
*) Using Ctrl-U didn't swap the panels' filters.
*) Change Ctrl-\ to exit the current archive if we're in one rather than
going all the way to the root of the drive.
*) Win32: Use CopyFileEx() to copy files so that alternate streams are
preserved.
*) Using Alt-F1/2 then \ would not turn on the appropriate panel if it was
hidden.
*) Add sticky select mode to editor with Alt-S.
*) Add progress indicator to editor file loading & saving.
*) Make tree views able to expand/collapse branches. Controlled with Grey +/-
and Ctrl-Grey +/-. Default tree state can be configured with the
ExpandedTrees switch in fc.ini.
*) OS/2: Work around PM insert state change when tagging files.
*) Remove limit of 4000 matches in File Find.
*) Include value of PathAppend configuration directive in the PATH
environment variable of spawned processes.
*) OS/2: Support BeginLIBPATH & EndLIBPATH pseudo-environment variables for
extending DLL search path.
*) In file find results, shift F8 deletion of directories doesn't recognise
Cancel & All option persists between repeated uses.
*) Add support for directory store/recall via the normal number keys as well as the numpad.
(Win32 only).
*) Add "All Older" option to the overwrite confirmation dialog.
*) Support environment variable references in stored directory paths.
*) Change File Find to search directories in alphabetical order instead of
the LIFO stack it was using.
*) Add !tx operator, like !t but chops the extension. Handy for converting
files where the program requies both input & output file names & you want
to change the extension.
*) Prevent crash in File Find when searching a path more than 260 characters
long.
*) Added support for sub-menus of user menus
*) Speed up loading of a large command history when MaxHist is set high.
*) Allow user menu commands to be up to 4096 characters long, up from 259.
*) Add initial support for UNC paths.
*) Improve handling of bad sectors while copying files.
*) Calculate Directory Size: Allow "Total Size" display more room.
*) Fix retrieval of a stored path that's inside an archive via the Alt-F5
stored path dialog.
*) TAR reading: take notice of unix directory mode flag as well as trailing
slash when deciding if an entry is a directory or file.
*) Use more efficient memory allocator for storing text lines in editor for
faster loading of large files.
*) Optimise use of space in the panel status line when showing quantity &
size of tagged files.
*) OS/2: Enable shifted keys to work with keyboard redirectors like the
telnet server.
*) In File Find, enable F5/F6 to copy/move all files in the found list.
*) In File Find, Delete key removes an item from the found list.
*) Display "dirinfo" file in the lower section of the Info panel. Double
click of same area or F4 edits the dirinfo file.
*) Add / and ? keys to viewer as search forwards/backwards as in many unix
tools (less, vi etc)
*) Fix menu colouring so that both forground & background of menu highlight
bar can be configured.
*) Add built-in "set" command & [Environment] INI file section, allowing
environment variables to be changed for executed commands. The set
command allows temporary changes while the INI file section allows more
permanent settings.
*) Added Shift-TAB seek name completion
Changes with File Commander 2.21
*) When copying tagged directories, update the status line after doing the
size count.
*) OS/2: Fix code page translation failures after translating large
quantities of text.
*) Translate all paths passed to tar to use forward slashes as some tar
ports can't understand backslashes.
*) Move hot key for Brief-Wide in Left/Right menus so as not to clash with
Info item.
*) OS/2: Fix sort order of files with some country settings.
*) Fix rare crash in file contents searching where a negative offset into the
file was requested when the first byte in the file was present in the
search string.
