  • Fixed a bug with all the Delete/Move/Copy actions with certain kinds of files.
2.4.52007/01/11
  • Fixed a bug with the Move action.

  • Changed the way power marking works. It is now a mode instead of a separate window.
  • Changed the "Size (MB)" column for a "Size (KB)" column. The values are now "ceiled" instead of rounded. Therefore, a size "0" is now really 0 bytes, not just a value too small to be rounded up. It is also the case for delta values.
  • Removed the min word length/count options. These came from Mp3 Filter, and just aren't used anymore. Word weighting does pretty much the same job.
2.3.42006/11/07
