Altap Salamander 2.53 beta 2 Changelog

Release date: May 21, 2010

List of most important changes in Altap Salamander 2.53 beta 2

  • Completed support for language localizations. For now installer package contains English, Czech, and German language packs. Translation into other languages is possible using Altap Translator, free utility available on Altap Salamander Support Forum.
  • We would like to thank all of you who worked hard on German and Czech translations, particularly to Thomas Kelso (Thomas), Dirk Bornhütter (Nighthawk), Thomas Pagels (Silbereis), Thomas Wölk (Beta), and Gtein.
  • FAT32 file size limit was wrong: 4GB minus 2 bytes instead of 4GB minus 1 byte. https://forum.altap.cz/viewtopic.php?t=3934
  • Preserving dates and times of directories when moving directories in scope of one drive was not working on some network drives (e.g. Samba on Linux).
  • Drag&drop in panel with WinSCP connection (copy or move files/directories in scope of one server) had wrong default drop effect: Copy instead of Move.
  • Thumbnails in panel were sometimes not displayed until manual Refresh (Ctrl+R) when Salamander was started in Thumbnails view mode, when changing thumbnail size with Ctrl+mouse wheel, or after switching view mode in panel from Tiles (Alt+6) to Thumbnails (Alt+5). https://forum.altap.cz/viewtopic.php?t=3563
  • Copy&Paste, Drag&Drop, Copy (F5), Delete (F8), and Calculate Occupied Space (Alt+F10) in archive opened in panel: when some files from archive were changed, archive update is offered before using these commands (in previous versions commands worked directly with archive, changed files were ignored).
  • When one archive was opened in both panels, some file was changed, and then archive was closed without updating, View command in second panel still showed changed version of the file (file was not unpacked from archive again after aborted archive update).
  • Changing directory in panel using command line parameters -L, -R, and -A failed when user provides path to a file. Newly this file is focused in panel as expected. https://forum.altap.cz/viewtopic.php?t=3816
