13.10.06 Fixed: Overwrite dialog: User clicks on rename, then cancel -> the entire file operation was cancelled. Instead, just return to the overwrite dialog now.

11.10.06 Added: When renaming/moving a file in search - feed to listbox, show the new names even if they wouldn't be part of the search results. The list isn't updated when using the multi-rename tool.

17.05.06 Fixed: The already running instance of TC wasn't restored when minimized to tray and only 1 instance allowed when starting TC again

07.03.06 Fixed: Search function: When using option "Search only selected dirs" and [..] was selected, TC searched also in the parent dir -> auto-uncheck [..]
06.03.06 Fixed: ListNotificationReceived was broken: WM_COMMAND was only called during loading of plugin
03.03.06 Fixed: When unpacking, remove relative paths in the form ..\ or ...\ (any number of dots >=2) -> this would place the file in the parent dir, which is a potential security risk
03.03.06 Fixed: Lister: Printing selection printed junk in the first line if the selection was made beyond the beginning of the file
01.03.06 Fixed: Right click -> New submenu: look in "All Users\Templates" if template not found in "<username>\Template"

22.02.06 Fixed: When using "Show only selected files" in thumbnails view while thumbs were still being extracted, the wrong thumbs could be shown -> clear thumbs extraction queue
21.02.06 Fixed: With WatchDirs=5, files could disappear from the list when editing them in some editors

19.12.05 Fixed: When started from U3 USB stick, handle installation and switching of languages correctly

18.12.05 Fixed: Support Euro sign in HTML viewer as &8364; € and € - will not work correctly with Cyrillic, Chinese, or Japanese encodings
18.12.05 Fixed: Parallel port connection: Don't show date for '..' items and drive letters

13.11.05 Added: For admins: Under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Ghisler\Total Commander\configuration, add allowed (type string) and/or RestrictInterface (type DWORD) to restrict user options. The value will be combined with the value in the ini file (the more restricted wins)

09.10.05 Fixed: Memory error in compare tool with some big files
28.09.05 Fixed: When using Letters with search dialog as quick search mode in archives with Ctrl+Q, then going to an image file can cause an access violation (because the quick search dialog is hidden by the unpack dialog)
27.09.05 Fixed: In double byte languages like Chinese, characters in zip/rar with second char '|' were shown incorrectly (because '|' is normally illegal in file names)
27.09.05 Fixed: Make FTP client work with FTP servers which return a forward slash after a directory name
27.09.05 Fixed: When browsing virtual folders, try to get the name in various ways (first for parsing, then in folder, then normal)

25.08.05 Fixed: Button bar : no icon shown if path contained a comma
23.08.05 Added: Optimize unzip: open archive once at the beginning and keep open (necessary because of a bug in Windows XP SP2, where CloseFile over a network takes up to 2 seconds!)
10.08.05 Fixed: Synchronize dirs: Copy direction problem when synching between dir+zip in asymmetric mode and unchecked files
09.08.05 Fixed: Tree functions and creation of dirs failed if Alt+F10 tree contains paths longer than 259 characters
29.07.05 Added: On Ctrl+PageDown, TC now searches the first 512 kbytes for a valid archive header. Reason: The RAR unpacker will support themes which can contain a big uncompressed background bitmap in the unpacker...
06.07.05 Fixed: Copy speed limit wasn't enforced when opening the background transfer manually and adding files for copying AFTER checking the speed limit option

24.05.05 Added: Increased width of dropdown box in synchronize dirs - wildcards

18.05.05 Fixed: When using the color scheme "high contrast black", print preview showed text black on black and sometimes printed white on white -> explicitly set font color to color_windowtext for preview, and black (0) for printing

18.05.05 Fixed: Synchronize dirs: Duplicate name warning when comparing Unicode names which have the same name pattern (same length, English and spaces in same places)

21.04.05 Added: Korean is now included as a default language due to the increased number of registrations from Korea

12.04.05 Fixed: Memory leak in Netware function to copy trustees (Netware version only)

11.04.05 Added: New wincmd.ini section: noreread2= (which defaults to the content of noreread=): set drives which should not be remembered when restarting TC. Until now, this was part of noreread= See example in help.

11.04.05 Fixed: Turn off watchdirs between copy dialog and progress dialog to avoid error that directory contents have changed
