What's new in SoftChronizer 1.1.4.510

Feb 28, 2010
  • Kaspersky FALSE-ALERT fixed!

New in SoftChronizer 1.1.4.500 (Feb 26, 2010)

  • fixed bug: "Invalid argument to date encode"
  • fixed possible language installation bug
  • have added a [Selection...] button for all users who have not found the context menu before
  • have added a safety-question when changing the file-type via button
  • GAOTD license disabled

New in SoftChronizer 1.1.3.470 (Feb 17, 2010)

  • the [i]nformation window now has our new animated logo, if once connected to the internet when opening this window.
  • the shareware-countdown window-title was revised with better 3D text.

New in SoftChronizer 1.1.2.461 (Feb 14, 2010)

  • [Delete] button was enabled by mistake in v1.1.2.460, even if no files were selected.
  • status-bar information text of the main window, while scanning for files, is extensively revised now and abort with ESC is better supported
  • we have decided to make the "Byte-by-Byte" search algorithm also search for files with different filenames and file-sizes. - therefore we have removed the former restrictions of the "Byte-by-Byte" checkbox in conjunction with the other radio-checkboxes of the main window
  • we have fixed a small memory-leak in conjunction with "Byte-by-Byte" search with previous versions. (zero-byte files have not been removed from memory correctly.)
  • especially the fuzzy-logic search-algorithm is much faster now, because some 'breaks' have been removed from the main search loop and on many other places we have made many changes and have fixed some fuzzy-logic search algorithms for better performance and higher accuracy, in this release
  • "Byte-by-Byte" is deactivated by default now, because text-comparison of filenames is SoftChronizer's strength (and has a tremendous performance!). but the "Byte-by-Byte" checkbox can be checked for sure anytime if you need it - and it is very/more precisely, but also more slowly
  • updating the main windows title-bar with search-information text now was removed because of performance reasons
  • displaying duplicate files in table after searching is now much faster. a small
  • text-animation was added, showing that the table contents is about to be updated
  • the [i]nfo-button now moves with the window, if the window is sized by the user now the left part of the main window can be sized (is split). so you can give your quick selection buttons long names that are not cut, if you enlarge this part of the window
  • the yellow hints of the quick selection buttons now are displaying the assigned file-types instead of the button-names
  • moving with the mouse over the list while scanning files, has cleared the status-bars
  • information text in v1.1.0.430. this is fixed now
  • when deleting files, all controls of the main window were active. they now are
  • disabled, as they always should be when scanning/deleting files

New in SoftChronizer 1.1.0.430 (Feb 1, 2010)

  • shared file / file in use conflict bug fixed. (e.g. when scanning the Windows directory)
  • cut text (status-bar) under Windows XP now not longer cut.
  • closing the main window when scanning was not handled. -> fixed!
  • options-dialog window content-width is now larger, text of some controls has changed.
  • optimized algorithms for initializing- and reading files. (now 20% faster)
  • SoftChronizer is now tested with- and certified for 64-bit systems!
  • information window now has got a lot of feedback-links: e-mail feedback link, feedback-page link for public feedback, online gallery link (can also be used as an online-help, maybe this will be enhanced later) voting-, FAQ- and bug-report links.

New in SoftChronizer 1.0.7.390 (Jan 23, 2010)

  • fixed the bug, that if MP3s and images are listed together in the table, SoftChronizer only has noticed the [delete, move, Recycle Bin] markers of either MP3s or images when having tried to delete all marked files. now everything works correctly, regarding this.
  • the last column was not colored, if images and other filetypes where shown together.
  • when having resized the first column of the table (with the combo-box in it) the combo-box also have resized itself. now the column resizes back to the size of the combo-box, as soon as a new line is selected by either mouse or keyboard.
  • "[x] Byte-by-Byte" now again activated by default. (better first scan byte-by-byte, though it is slower)

New in SoftChronizer 1.0.6.382 (Jan 20, 2010)

  • shareware countdown window added and deleting of files with random countdown (between 10 and 60 sec.) enabled (v1.0.6: graphically enhanced), deletion dialog window has been made sizable, text translation fixed, info window changed, some controls

New in SoftChronizer 1.0.5.347 (Jan 19, 2010)

  • rather than deny generally the deletion/moving of files, SoftChronizer has now got a "Shareware-Countdown" window, which is displayed every 10 files processed, and shows a random countdown between 10 and 60 seconds
  • the deletion dialog window has been made sizable. this is a great advantage!
  • some small changes were made with the InfoForm.dll
  • some text now is translated correctly on the deletion dialog window
  • some display-fixes (controls) were made on the main window
