3.64b (29-Apr-2005)
===================

added: batchrun-> always use "update" when loading a new/unused profile
added: settings-> pathselector->global addpaths. You can specify global addpaths which are used in any profile.
misc: scanner-> some workaround for initial filerequester strings containig a "." when saving a fixdatfile
misc: scanner-> when autosavefixdat is enabled and no fixdatname is set yet, the default fixdatfolder is used and no prompt appears
misc: batchrun-> when using a 0 second batchrun, you can stop it by hitting cancel while scanning. You will see a prompt to stop the full batchrun.
misc: profiler-> removed prompt about a successfully updated datfile
misc: profiler-> profileupdate check doesn't update dats with no name headerentry anymore
misc: general-> backup and backup/_unknown folders are automatically used as addpaths in scanner AND rebuilder (scanner always was, rebuilder is new). For rebuilder you should be aware of the "remove rebuilt source" option in combination with addpaths now!!!

"misc: scanner-> when autosavefixdat is enabled and no fixdatname is set yet, the default fixdatfolder is used and no prompt appears"

i thought it did this already, was this done before but is now being reported?


"misc: profiler-> removed prompt about a successfully updated datfile"

again, this was already in previous version, I checked 3.64a and I got no prompt after dat update



"misc: profiler-> profileupdate check doesn't update dats with no name headerentry anymore"

how this is helpfull?


"misc: general-> backup and backup/_unknown folders are automatically used as addpaths in scanner AND rebuilder (scanner always was, rebuilder is new). For rebuilder you should be aware of the "remove rebuilt source" option in combination with addpaths now!!!"

please tell me what changed between "remove rebuilt source" and addpaths in rebuilder in this version?


thank you for your time with this program!

No. It only didn't prompt for a filename when you already specified one. If you used a new profile it always asked you for a place to store.

It wasn't in an earlier version. When you selected the "update" button when an update datfile was found, you always got a "datfile updated successfully".

Easy answer: If you use datfiles without headerentries, the update routine might have chosen a wrong one to update since there was no sign of what to update.

The backupfolder is automatically internally added as an addpath for scanner and rebuilder. If you select the rebuilder "use addpath" option instead of a single sourcefolder, you better not forget that an optional enabled "remove rebuilt sourcefiles" will remove files from the backupfolder if something matches and is rebuilt.
