Version History - for those who need to know...

Main updates for version 4.0.49 (beta) and 4.0.50 (final)

- New 'Same As' Feature added - A dropdown menu on each pane's toolbar lets you make the current pane 'the same as' any other active pane. Just another time saver for you from the world of File Smile. Look for the equal sign ('=') icon on the toolbar.

Minor updates

- Sorting order was not being saved for files in some cases
- Bug found when in 'list' view - selection arrow was appearing in top left corner - fixed
- Loading last options/preferences sped up slightly
- Minor code changes throughout

Main updates for version 4.0.41 (beta) and 4.0.42 (final)

- List View - files can now be displayed in 'list' view. Previous versions of File Smile defaulted to showing filename, size, date modified, etc in a single column only (now called 'details' view). The user can now choose to show filenames only in multiple columns.

- Collapse All - new toolbar item allows all folders and sub-folders to be collapsed in one click.

- Folder and File Filtering - in addition to the existing method of filtering files by their extensions, users can now specify their OWN filters for both folders and files. Use * for wildcards, ? for a single character and # for single number (e.g. *2005*backup*)

- Quick Folder Size Calculating - calculating folder sizes right in the folder listing is now faster. Size calculations can be terminated with the Escape key, and a single folder size can be calculated with the F3 key.

Minor updates

- Folder comparison tool sometimes did not remember the last settings used (e.g. compare by file size, file date etc). This has been fixed.
- Some speed improvements implemented.
- Occurrence of nag message decreased for users of free version.
- When list sized too small to show items, message is displayed to avoid confusion.
- bug when opening Microsoft Access database squished
- Additional tool tips added
- added ability to reset File Smile settings by pressing ' r ' key during startup

Main Updates for version 4.0.49 (beta) and 4.0.40 (final)

- Bookmarks - you can now right click and bookmark a folder. Bookmarks appear in the drive list and are great for jumping to important folders - works on both local and network folders

- Command Line - added 'Command Line' to right click context menu. If a folder is selected, the command window will default to this folder, if a file is selected command window will default to parent folder (beta user request)

- Column Resizing - double click on column headings while the resize cursor is showing will resize the column to the longest text in that column (hold ctrl to resize on-screen items only)

- Export File Listings - folder and file listings (and their properties) can now be exported to a text file (comma separated - works well with spreadsheets)

- Start Button - added 'File Smile' to right click 'context menu' of the Windows Start button

- Speed Improvement - file and folder icons can now be turned on or off from new Options dialog (under File menu) - when off, default icons appear

- major performance boost when off when there are lots of items

- Speed Improvement - color and comment checking can now be turned off from main menu, toolbar icon or Options dialog - improves speed considerably when file sizes are large

- Minimizing - new option allows File Smile to be minimized to task bar or the system tray (i.e. the clock area)

Minor Updates

- right clicking folders and/or files now shows progress bar when duplicating items if necessary
- pane refreshes instantly after renaming now - no delay
- using F2 key for renaming sometimes didn't work for first or last items in a folder...now works fine
- fixed small bug on serial number entry form
