Version
1.12d:
User
Requests:
- Added
Edit option to local and remote context menus and
a supporting field in the settings where the user's
preferred editor is specified. Editing a remote
document will cause the file to be downloaded to
a temporary location, and opened in the editor.
When the editor is closed and if the file
has been modified, the user is prompted to upload
the modified file.
- Added
comment field to connection details. Comment is
displayed as a 'hint' on the Connection form.
- Added
ability to select which Settings page is displayed
when the form is displayed.
- Added
option to display "My Network Places in local
views.
General
Updates:
- Added
command line option to specify connection. miFiles
will automatically connect to this connection and
it will override the startup connection specified
in the settings. Users can use this to have
shortcuts that will directly link to a number of
favourite sites.
- A
number of users have not been aware that multiple
miFiles sessions can be run concurrently. To
make it more obvious (and more accessible), the
'Connect' commands are now always enabled.
If the user attempts to open a new connection
while the current session is currently connected,
the user will be prompted to open a new session
for the new connection.
- Corrected
somewhat confusing method of controlling the 'open'ing
of remote documents. Remote documents can
now always be opened using the context menu if they
don't have a 'banned' extension. Double clicking
to open a remote document is controlled by an option
in the Settings.
- When
a connection was lost and automatically re-established,
miFiles would change to the local directory to that
specified in the connection details. Now
miFiles will retain the current directory on the
local system when a connection is automatically
re-established.
- Replaced
the support email link with a link to the Simdata
forums
on the feedback page.
- A
new installer is provided that simplifies the installation
process from the user perspective. New installer
allows previous settings to be imported. The
new uninstaller also allows a complete removal,
including all stored settings.
- License
agreement updated and display component improved.
- "ftp://" is
now automatically removed from
server names if the user inadvertently adds
it.
- Added
'Explorer' option to local listview context menu.
Selecting this option will open an Explorer
window, viewing the currently displayed local folder.
- Corrected
a local file renaming issue (in 1.12d beta 3). When
a local file was renamed, its internal representation
within miFiles had a trailing "\" appended
to the pathname and this could cause problems in
later processes such as uploading. A work
around is to refresh the local view after a local
rename.
- Updated
Registration page to limit characters that can be
typed into name and email fields.
Version
1.12c:
User
Requests:
- Added
option to save file sorting details between sessions.
- Added
more from/to details in overwrite prompt.
- Added
option to download empty folders from server.
- Updated
Installer to prevent it automatically repairing
the installation.
- Added
ability to auto-connect to a specified site when
the program is run. Holding the [Control]
key down will prevent auto-connect.
- Updated
filter to allow changing of filenames to upper/lowercase
on transfers.
- Added
options to only prompt to overwrite existing file
if the target file is newer.
- Added
remote menu option to set the current remote folder
as the connection's startup folder.
- Integrated
Connection Selection with menu system - old
methods are still available.
General
Updates:
- Added
Options page to Settings and grouped options
to simplify configuration.
- Improved
filtering speed when date comparisons are required
- EG like when updating web-site with new
files.
The implementation of this may improve compatibility
with some web sites.
- Added
option to determine if a prompt is required to open
remote documents.
- Added
option to control tooltips (hints).
- Updated
the "unregistered" banner to be more annoying
to encourage registration.

total transfer size better and will no longer shows
negative values.
- Improved
Abort handling.
Version
1.12b:
- Added
support for an additional proxy type: proxyid@hostname
(user request).
- Simplified
manual registration process.
- Added
proxy option for Quick Connect.
- Added
popup warning if invalid date is used in filter
(it used to just 'ding'.)
- miFiles
previously created all local folder needed
for the download - even if they were originally
empty (or if filtering resulted in the folder being
empty). miFiles will now remove all empty local
folders that it creates (controlling option added
in 1.12c).
- Added
ability to save the ftp log to a file. (user request)
- Revised
Progress form to make actions more obvious.
- Resized
Welcome form to make it smaller initially
Version
1.12a:
- Added
support for a wide range of FTP Proxy servers.

Version
1.11d (only released for beta testing)
- Fixed
an exception that can occur when uploading files
on systems
with low memory.
- The
local file listview component has been replaced
- this was a commercial component but now we use
in house code. This will resolve a lot of
minor issues with the local file list such as:
- Sorting
now works properly.
- Column
widths can be saved and restored.
- The
file list should refresh correctly.
- Some
issues with Win98 special-folders have been
corrected.
- Problems
uploading multiple files on some configurations
should have been resolved.
- Zips
are no longer sorted with folders on XP systems.
- Program
links can now be opened.
- Added
a file properties dialog box.
- Fixed
issue with using the DEL key during in-place
renaming of a file.
- Note,
the local treeview won't be replaced in this
version despite some minor problems with Win98.
- Better
handling of remote folders with a large number of
files. Previously, folders with 1000's of
files would be extremely slow to load but now it
only takes a few seconds from when the listing is
downloaded.
- Some
major consolidation of work done to handle the "Scrollbar property
out of range" issue on some XP systems. Updated
the license/welcome screen to remove the offending
control. The vendor did not make us confident
that they could fix the problem with the RTF control
in any reasonable timeframe - so its gone.
- Improved
the progress bar by adding total transfer size and
a small indicator that provides transfer activity
indications when transferring large files (when
the progress bar is moving very slowly).
- Added
advanced filtering function so that file transfers
can be filtered based on a file-mask, an extension
list, size, date. Filter can be inclusive
or exclusive.
- Added
customisable extension filters.
- Added
timezone field to advanced connection details.
- Added
[Filter] button on the main toolbar to toggle the
file transfer filter on/off.
- Updated
progress form to optionally display a list of files
transferred and the result of each transfer.
- Added
prompt to continue on an upload failure - previously
the whole operation was aborted.
- Added
prompt to continue on delete-file failure.
- Added
a more 'human' interpretation of the normal 'connection
reset by peer' message.
- Added
warnings when trying to rename or delete shortcuts
on the server.
- Added
ability to prevent upload of shortcuts.
- Added Type
column to the right hand side.
- Clicking
on the RHS Type column sorts by file type
(.ext)
- Added
settings option to control initial state of file
transfer filter.
- Added
settings option to control whether file details
are initially displayed in transfer form.
- Added
settings option to block uploading of shortcuts.
- Added
settings option to enable warning messages to be
displayed if trying to rename or delete links (shortcuts)
on the server.
- Modified
the registration name fields to reject special characters
- these cause problems in the registration process.
- Added
support for FTP symbolic links (shortcuts) and a shortcut
overlay icon to display links. Links are resolved
the first time they are encountered and then cached.
- As
well as providing visual feedback for a read-only
site, we have added visual feedback for when Compression
is turned on.
- Improved
the handling of FTP server disconnecting the session.
- Improved
the handling of aborting a file-transfer. Some
FTP servers will disconnect the session when they
receive the ABOR command. miFiles will now
re-establish the session if the server disconnects.
- Added
support for Resuming a failed upload, however, not
many FTP servers support resuming because they automatically
delete or truncate partially uploaded files.
- Reduced
the number of times that miFiles retrieves the current
directory from the FTP server. This will result
in better performance on very slow servers.
- Changed
the way site usernames and passwords are stored.
This is because one user reported corruption.
- Improved
the handling of server messages - can now click
on remote header to display a window showing all
the server messages prior to logon.
- Corrected
exception when all files in a site were deleted.
- Corrected
lockup when F5 key held down on FTP listview.
- Corrected
issue where sometimes the folder icon was not correct.
- Corrected
issue when extracting a downloaded zip file and
the file to be extracted already exists but as a
read-only file.
- Corrected
a dialog message.
- Fixed
sorting
of "My Computer".
- Fixed
problem when dropping files from the server onto
the local treeview.
- Some
minor Win98 treeview problems resolved.
- Removed
Compression from File menu - now just available
from main toolbar.
