I can confirm that the TAR format is more standard compliant in #241. Works great on linux/maemo tar apps.

Great support... donation on its way.

Yes but it remains on top even if you decide to take no action (clicking in an empty area on desktop does no longer make it disappear)

[MarkV]

True also for the main icon menu.

I tried this

[+file deleted]
{.delete|"%folder-resource%\[previews]\%item-deleted%.flv".}

but it didn't work, even without quotes. I wonder to know why.

Now i'm gonna try via cmd.exe

I don't know if anyone else has tried it on Windows 7 RC x64 Ultimate, but it appears to work fine. The only thing that doesn't look too nice is the taskbar icon, its a bit rough around the edges, so is notepad++, open source software, I don't expect perfection. But its nice to ask

Also after some minimise/maximise the font in the status bar of HFS became bold and quite ugly... it went away the next minimise/maximise and I haven't seen it happen again. Other than those two small issues it seems to function very nicely.

Here is a screenshot I made up with Aero enabled.

i changed my mind about "is substring".
from next version it will just be an alias of "pos", and i will remove the deprecation.
do you agree?

[rejetto]

caco, your script is wrong
menu > debug > macros.log
and you'll see why

[MarkV]

Time to stick this (and unstick #240).

I'm using it since the first beta of Windows 7 x64 came out from MS, and I updated every leak*d version found on keznews.com, now I am using build 7127 and HFS always worked great, together with the whole system that seems reborn
I use IIS 7.5 + ARR (a plugin by MS) that makes me connect to HFS by SSL, and I also have the active-x for remote connections on a specific path I decided. Gotta say rejetto gave an help to make it work wonderfully and give the exact origination IP of the user connecting into the HFS logs, thanks mate.

What do you mean with the font in the status bar!? Seems all right here

[Mars]

{.add to log.} supports more color formats

the default is {.add to log| text | color=#/$xxxxx.}


For more possibilities, IS IT POSSIBLE to CREATE a shape of parameter as follows?? ??


{.add to log| text | RGB=xxxxxx.}
{.add to log| text | BGR=xxxxxx.}
{.add to log| text | CMY=xxxxxx.}

[rejetto]

from what you wrote, people will think those parameters are supported.
they are not.
refer to documentation to know what's supported.

Also after some minimise/maximise the font in the status bar of HFS became bold and quite ugly...

I've already seen this phenomenon with Win XP and other versions of HFS.
This happens sometimes with some Windows themes.

After almost a day of tryouts i solved with an awful batch script invoked by {.exec.}

Sorry, late post.  It took me a while to get the data.

* left clicking on the download tray icon will popup the menu, just as the right click used to do

Yes but it remains on top even if you decide to take no action (clicking in an empty area on desktop does no longer make it disappear)

Confirmed in Vista x64 (clicking desktop or another window).  But if the hfs window is open, clicking on the hfs window makes the popup disappear.

+ the TAR format is more standard compliant (is it?)

Also in Vista, WinRAR can't open a tar made by 7z if it contains only a folder in it's root.

There are major differences between a tar created by 7z and a tar created by both hfs241 and hfs240, although the main difference between 241 and 240 is that 241 uses a forward slash / for a folder delimiter and 240 uses a backslash \.

Here is a text file of a short summary of the binary comparison between the 3 applications.
