StarDotZip history Version 1.0 Build 561 Problem when updating ALL the files in an archive. Duplicate files would be created fixed. Build 566 The icon indicating a password protected file would partially obscure the filename. fixed. Build 569 Error inadvertently caused by fix in build 561, occasional problems creating archives via the context menu fixed. Build 574 Removed some left over debug code. A few other items fixed as well. Build 595 Had some reports of the installation files being corrupted. Fixed Build 599 Images in the archive viewing window were not showing the correct icons under Windows 98. Version 1.5 Build 614 Access Violation would occur if trying to create an archive without selecting any files to compress. Now, a message will pop up telling you that "No files have been selected to be compressed". Ace compression now supported. This requires an external program (ace.exe) which can be downloaded from the StarDotZip home page ( http://www.pana.com/StarDotZip/ ) Build 617 Problems with opening and compressing ACE files from the Windows Explorer context menu fixed. Build 623 Zip header errors falsely reported. Fixed. Updating of edited files inside an archive not always updated. This only seemed to occur when the archive file(s) were opened up either by a double-click in Explorer or via the Explorer context menu. When creating Self-Extracting archives, sometimes and error would be incorrectly reported that the file could not be created. Fixed. Build 626 Another problem with an error being reported falsely. A "File not found" error would occur, although file extraction would still happen normally. Fixed. Build 630 When browsing to other folders, and you want to quickly get back to the original folder, clicking on the "Recent folders" box will take you back. Added a "Select all" check box for file associations (Under the "Advanced options" tab of the configuration window). The "Extract selected" option under "Extract options" is now the default setting. CTRL + A (now selects either all files in the current browsing window or the archive viewing window, depending on which one is has the input focus (generally which one the mouse last clicked on). Press the "A" key while holding down the "Ctrl" key. Version 1.5.1 Build 654 Problems with creating UUE and GZip files fixed. This problem affected both the shell operations and in the program. Overhauled the SFX code. New design. See next item. Massive rewrite of all the compression routines. This has created another problem where there is a problem reading SFX archives. This problem is currently being worked on. SFX files created still work fine, just that StarDotZip is having a problem reading them. Version 1.52 Build 657 Had some problems with creating RAR files. Fixed Added larger multi-volume support for ACE, ARJ and RAR files. Can now create volume sizes of 360k, 720k, 1.2 megs, 1.44 megs, 2 megs, 3 megs 5 megs, 10 megs and 15 megs. May add the ability to create any size in future version. Build 664 Problem with reading SFX files noted in build 654 fixed. Build 667 On Windows NT systems, if you did not have administrator access, you could not set file associations. This should no longer be a problem. At program startup, StarDotZip would try to read from the D:\ drive even if there was no disk available. Fixed. The "Working folder" would always revert back to the Windows temp folder. Fixed Version 1.53 Build 670 Problem with creating ARJ and ZOO files, fixed. On password protected archives, removed the confirm box when trying to extract archives. This is the "Windows standard" behaviour. =================================================================== Copyright ® 2000 Robert Jones ===================================================================
