Altap Salamander Support Forums

Hi there, I'm new here

first, thank you for Salamander, the excellent file manager I daily use since v1.6. I know all other file managers and tried them, but Salamander is the only one most complete in functionality, usability and look... very nice!

Second, the two little bugs:
a) STRG+1 shows infos of a drive, including the size. If I do so on an network share, i got 16 Exabytes of used space, see screenie. In v2.5 it was correct. The share is on an SBS 2003 with 2GB quota, Testsystem: Win8 Pro x86 and Win7 Prof. x64.

b) Sometimes (1 of 10) the Salamander prevents the logoff from Windows. Salamander eats this event and nothing more happend. If I initiate the logoff again or closing Sal. before then the logoff works fine. I noted this behavior on local machines and RDP sessions too on any existing windows version (including servers) since XP over the years with v2.5 and now with v3beta too.

Thanks!

I'll look at problem with incorrectly reported used space. I have found it already on my to-do list.

Preventing log off: no idea, it seems to be implemented clearly. We had problem with corrupted configuration due to killing Salamander during saving of configuration when log off / shutdown occurred, but we have solved it by putting saving to background thread and handling messages in main thread (it prevents system from killing Salamander as "not responding" application).

Fixed. It will be available in beta 3 which will be release this month.

Will this be the final beta release before Salamander 3?

Probably yes. There could be another (short) beta if there will be some problem in beta 3.
