New in A43 3.60 (Feb 15, 2013)
- Finally back and able to do a little. Sorry to all that I have been gone so long but medical issues have me going sorta slow. And, I lost a couple of drives so when I was able to try and begin again I had lost code and all my to-do lists. So if you have not given up on me please email your requests and I will do my best to work them in if possible. For those wanting A43 in 64 bit it will not happen, sorry. It will take a complete rewrite and I do not know/think it will be possible using the code base I have. I have written a simple file manager and text editor I use in PE situations that I intend to post here in a few days. These are simple but do allow me to do the work I need in PE. Perhaps from this I can start a new file manager (A54?) if I receive feedback. They are x86 and x64 so you can give them a go if interested A43 now has option to toggle real file size versus formatted file size for feedback in the statusbar
- Option to hide folders in the file list. (Not persistent between sessions.)
- Option to toggle the showing of selected file size. This speeds it up greatly on a slow network. I will try to rewrite this function to not be recursive as it is now and that should help the slow down
- I found some sloppy code and cleaned it up and in the process of this plus going back to old code I have lost some of the request changes I had added, so if you see it missing email me and I will get it back, hopefully
New in A43 3.50 (Apr 22, 2011)
- A43 now uses the 7z.dll by Igor Pavlov to extract archive types of .7, .iso, .rar, .cab, .jar, .tar, .z, .msi, .arj, .lzh, .lha.
- The interface is not exactly elegant but will do for now. I was very excited to get this working since I need access to these files and usually from a PE environment.
- PLEASE NOTE: at present there is no way to cancel the extraction once started and files will be over written if they exist. All archives will be extracted to a folder using the archive name now, there is no longer an option for this. All .zip work is still done internally as before.
- Also, I was able to squash some bugs while completing this version.
- The unRar.dll is no longer needed so it can be removed.

You will need to use both file managers, one local and the other your server since no node support. Double-click in the white space to go to parent folder on the server. (file list) Do not use middle mouse button gestures or navigation buttons, these only work locally.
