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.
