What's new in DropboxPortableAHK 1.6.9 Beta
Oct 1, 2019
- add ‘-disable-shortcuts’ parameter to disable all shortcuts
- Support Dropbox version >= v72.4.136
New in DropboxPortableAHK 1.6.8.0 Stable / 1.6.8.14 Beta (Mar 3, 2017)
- The next beta version has arrived: v1.6.8.14 fixes SyncAndGo on Windows 10 and brings SyncAndGo support for all currently available languages in the Dropbox client, which adds support for users who have their Dropbox set to Danish, Dutch, Norwegian, Swedish, Ukrainian or Thai.
New in DropboxPortableAHK 1.6.8.13 Beta (Feb 27, 2017)
- SyncAndGo handling was rewritten. Command line parameters do now always override the stored settings. Use the ‘-syncandgo’ command line parameter to enable, use ‘-no-syncandgo’ to disable the feature. Hold down the Ctrl-Key during startup to toggle the SyncAndGo state. Whenever SyncAndGo is active, it will show a notification.
- Encryption key validation of the Dropbox database was changed. Hopefully, this will fix the issue that the completion of the Dropbox setup was sometimes not detected.
- Another setup change: after running the setup, a reindex of the Dropbox folder is forced. This should prevent Dropbox from thinking the Dropbox folder got purged and thus prevent it from deleting all files in their webinterface as well.
- USB Autorun was removed. This feature only worked on Operating Systems prior to Windows 7 and since Dropbox removed support for Windows XP, there is no need for this anymore.
- Also, the latest Dropbox version 20.4.19 is now supported.
