Altap Salamander 2.53 beta 1 (PB 44) Change List: - Archives containing two or more files with the same name: View command worked only with the first opened file (View command on all other files with the same name opened wrongly always only the first opened file). - Last Command name in Plugins menu newly contains also plugin's name. It solves conflicts with the same command names used in more plugins, e.g. Disconnect (FTP and WinSCP) or Test Archive (ZIP and 7-Zip). http://forum.altap.cz/viewtopic.php?t=3163 + SDK version of Salamander (Preview Builds and SDK builds): SDK version contains trace messages. Added Autostart Altap Trace Server and Log Trace Messages to File items to window menu (click on icon in upper left corner of main window). On the first start of SDK version of Salamander, it displays question if you want to start Altap Trace Server automatically. - Added trace messages for wrong plugin language modules, now it should be clear why SLG module cannot be loaded. - Configuration dialog box: GUI font is used in page caption instead of system font. - Find dialog: wrong font was displayed in Focus toolbar button after change of Windows Appearance.

Now is calculated for 30.12.2000. Output of GetDateFormat(LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT, DATE_SHORTDATE...) is checked for alpha charactes. When alpha char is found, longest possible month and day is searched and used for column width. Time column is tested for morning and afternoon (AM/PM) time now. - Reduced number of DST confirmations in Compare Directories. They are shown only if changing of "Compare Directories: ignore time differences of exactly one or two hours" may lead to different results of Compare Directories command. http://forum.altap.cz/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=3672 - Help: removed unused keyboard shortcuts, see http://forum.altap.cz/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2141 + Copy/Move operations to archives and plugin file systems: warning "Options will be ignored" could be suppressed.
