Version 1.5 dated 99.08.01
Ñ Modify QuitApp AE handler to only accept quit events from the system. This prevents premature termination, and allows proper recognition of Shutdown and Restart events generated by the use of the Power key. Thank you Apple DTS!
Ñ Created GetNextEvent filter to absorb all Recording On events while FK is active, unless recording has been activated by the user. This fixes both the Microsoft Word 98 problem (inability to use mouse to position text cursor because Visual Basic / AppleEvent recording was active) AND spurious -1708 errors generated by older apps that don't understand the Recording On event.
Ñ Added custom notification code to replace flashing cassette icon when user initiates AppleScript recording. Complete ScriptEditor compatibility!
Ñ Added code to differentiate between opening of Get Info boxes, About This Macintosh window, and the normal opening of folders. Required for compatibility with System 7.1 Finder.
Ñ Successful compilation of FAT binary (CFM-68K/PPC) extension.
Ñ Added numerous error notifications throughout startup and operation of FK.
Ñ Fixed GNE filter function to properly initialize globals, thus allowing the proper use of the boolean return value instead of the hack I was using before.

Version 1.0.2 dated 99.01.15
Ñ Fixed Error #-43 (File not found) when opening items in the Trash. Now items in the Trash are recognized and properly ignored (left where they were positioned at the time of being placed in the Trash).
Ñ Fixed problem where windows could be automatically positioned off the screen. Now if window would be moved off the screen, it is instead left where it is upon opening.

Version 1.0.1 dated 99.01.11
Ñ Changed default behaviour of WildCard handler to noErr. Fixes problem with duplicate events being posted to some applications (for example, geturls with NetFinder and Netscape).
Ñ Fixed incompatibility with JPEGView (this was actually due to the pre-release version being tested as an application instead of as a system extension and so was fixed in the shareware v1.0 release).
Ñ Fixed problem where re-launching FinderKeeper¬ without restarting (not possible with shareware version) could cause root directory of volumes to not be interpreted properly (Err -50 paramErr No Default Vol).
-- end of v1.0.1 update log --
