- Version 5.09a
- =============
-
- A bug causing that the values for archives (number
- of files, folders and total data size) in the "Disk
- information" dialog box were not displayed
- correctly after rescanning the disk. To get right
- values, compress the database - the values are
- recalculated during compression.
-
- There was an incorrect explanation of the values
- displayed in the status line (subtotals for current
- folder) in DiskBase Help - corrected.
-
- -------------------------------------------------
-
- Version 5.09
- ============
-
- The information about the current folder
- displayed in the status line was available only
- for newly rescanned disks in the previous
- version of the program. Now it is enough to
- compress the database and the needed information
- is recalculated, so it is displayed for
- all the disks then - there is no more need to
- rescan the disks just because of this matter.
-
- -------------------------------------------------
-
- Version 5.08
- ============
-
- DiskBase can now scan self-extracting archives
- (exe files) of ZIP, ARJ and RAR types (extraction
- of descriptions from archives is not supported yet,
- but it is planned for the ZIP archives).
-
- A folder can be now scanned and saved to the
- database as a standalone disk.
-
- A "rescan disk" command was added - this command
- is useful namely when the disk that is to be
- rescanned has a different name than is its volume
- label.
-
- The internal database structure was changed. You
- may not notice this fact until you try to use
- earlier DiskBase versions to open a database that
- was created or opened by this version.
-
- The window with database now displays in lower
- left part (status line) information about the
- number of folders, files and data size contained
- in current folder. However, this information is
- correct for the newly scanned disks only.
-
- A bug causing that the read-only database could
- not be freely opened by the unregistered version
- of DiskBase was removed.
-
- -------------------------------------------------
-
- Version 5.07
- ============
-
- Printing: DiskBase did not sort files in folders
- when the whole disks were printed. In this
- version the sorting for this case was added to
- the program; files are sorted according to the
- criteria set in the Program Settings dialog box.
-
- If the disk size was greater than 2 GB
- (gigabytes), DiskBase did not show the size
- properly. As the disk free space is also checked
- when saving data to database, the database could
- not be placed on disk which had more than 2 GB of
- free space. These problems are removed in this
- version.
-
- You can now switch off the scanning of volume
- names for the "Scan disk" dialog box (scanning of
- volume names can take pretty long time when using
- CD-ROM changer, for example). See Help for
- detailed explanation.
-
- The Scan Disk dialog box was redesigned; now it
- is sizable, so if the names of the disks are too
- long, you can easily enlarge it.
-
- In some rare cases the Windows language driver
- may not function properly. You can now switch off
- using the Windows language driver by DiskBase.
- See Help for detailed explanation.

- -------------------------------------------------
-
- Version 5.06
- ============
-
- A bug causing a loose of a disk description after
- two rescans was removed.
-
- -------------------------------------------------
-
- Version 5.05
- ============
-
- Descriptions of disks are now available.
-
- Maximum size of description is now set in bytes
- (instead of kB) and the minimum value is now 100
- bytes (originally it was 1 kB which was too
- much).
-
- In the Program Settings you can now select
- arithmetic used for calculation of kB and MB from
- bytes; 1 kB can be either 1024 bytes or 1000
- bytes.
-
- In the 32-bit version the language script for
- fonts could not be set - only the default one was
- used. This problem was corrected, so the proper
- language script can be used.
-
- The [Home] and [End] key functions in the file
- display were corrected.
-
- Problem with saving an empty description was
- corrected.
-
- In the previous version a disk could not be
- renamed if the change was in the character case
- only (for example from "my disk c:" to "My disk
- C:"). This problem was corrected.
-
- In some language versions of Windows (Hungarian
- for example) the date was not properly displayed.
- This problem was corrected and a possibility to
- use the Windows system Short Date format was
- added to Program Settings.
-
- In the 32-bit version the folders with the Hidden
- attribute set were not put to the database (for
- example the folder with cache files of Internet
- Explorer). Corrected.
-
- Default folder for opening the database files is
- now taken from the "Open database at startup"
- specification (if set).
-
- -------------------------------------------------
-
- Version 5.04
- ============
-
- The widths of panels in the database window can
- be saved to the configuration file, so they are
- preserved when you run DiskBase next time. Small
- changes in the Search dialog box were also done.
-
- -------------------------------------------------
-
- Version 5.03
- ============
-
- The registration process was greatly simplified.
- See DiskBase help for details.
-
- -------------------------------------------------
-
- Version 5.02
- ============
-
- This is the first English version of DiskBase.
-
- You could not hear about earlier versions as till
- version 4 the program was available in Czech
- language only. The history of the program began
- in 1991, when it was formed as a collection of
- command-line utilities rather than standalone
- program. The first commercially successful
- version was version 4, released in 1994. The
- version 5 is the first version for Windows and
- was released in 1996 in Czech language and
- translated to English version in 1997.
-
- The program in the Czech version is called
- QuickDir from the very beginning. However, before
- doing the translation to English language we
- found that a shareware of the same name already
- exists (a DOS file manager), so we decided to use
- the DiskBase name for the international versions
- in order to avoid misunderstandings.
