What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· Small release to fix the issue where the modified before date is set to the current date on startup which can lead to missing files created after startup. We now set the date to the max date on startup.
· Also, when saving the search options, it will now save all of them (it was missing the file sizes and dates in the previous versions).
· Added file size type drop downs to allow filtering by byte/KB/MB/GB instead of just bytes. With this, we now display the Size column to match what explorer shows instead of just bytes.
