Or from Aminet, OS4Depot, or AmiUpdate.

Hello Marc, the version 2.0 installed yesterday is crashing after changing language and crashing after trying to open its own screen. Maybe you know this already.

Still speaks the silence, it speaks in riddles to my mind
And time keeps passing by as I walk tearful through this life.
Tarja i miss you so much. Farewell my baby.

I uploaded a fix already. Dumb little mistake on my part.

Use "Check latest version..." in the Project menu. Or download again from AmiUpdate, Aminet, or OS4Depot.


Thanks.

Workbench Explorer 2.1 build 8500 released

Download from Aminet, OS4Depot, AmiUpdate, or the best way is to use the "Check latest version..." in the Project menu.


###### [2.1 build 8500] - 2018-09-12 Birthday release!
### Added
- Information now displays the information in the Preview pane like it does
for devices. RAWBInfo is no longer used. This will allow for future expansion.
- Preferences->Update
Automatically check for updates at startup. Daily, weekly, or monthly.
- Menu->View->Layout was missing User Buttons.
- F6 Toggle Preview pane, set to default in Prefs->Preview.
- View menu->Toggle Preview pane F6
- Menu->Window->Position
Center window on screen horizontally and vertically.
Resize and center window to 3/4 screen size.
Resize and center window to 5/8 screen size.
Resize and center window to 1/2 screen size.
- Check latest version, now shows a window stating it is checking for an
internet connection.
- Preferences->Datatypes->When scanning a drawer
You can collect all the information about the files (slower) or just get the
file's type (faster) for basic identification.
-Preferences->Preview->Font
Separate proportional and monospaced fonts. Monospaced for archive browser
and hex viewer. Proportional for text viewer.
- Menu->Tools->Tool type editor
Edit an icon's tool types and preferences. If you change the type, nothing is
lost, unlike RAWBInfo. No check is made to verify you want to. When save,
only the appropriate settings are applied based on the type.
- Preferences->Locations
This new page lets you assign specific view styles to specific drawers.
Example: I normally view drawers in Details view style, but I can specify
User:Pictures to use Thumbnail view style. Once I go to that drawer it will
switch and stay in that style for the sub-drawers, as well. Once you move
away, it goes back to Details view style.
- Paste->Always skip if destination file is newer
If the dates are the same it will still ask for verification.
- Paste->Always skip if both files are identical
If the file sizes and dates are the same it will be skipped.
- At paste, "Do for all remaining conflicts" is now drawer and file dependent.
- Item count is displayed intermittently when "Discovering items...".
- Preferences->Operation->Preserve file date when paste
If not checked then the current date/time is used.
- Drawer dates are now preserved if use above option.
- First use of my new InfoData gadget class (internal).

### Fixed
- Bug in timer module.
- Bug in GIF animation loading.
- No longer need 3 spacer images. Allows for more future flexibility.
- EXIF metadata is always current when toggle the pane.
- Protect recurse drawers was not adjusted for info files.
- Date format in "Check latest version...".
- Preview locked files for some DOS functions.
- Aminet Recent and Full were selected incorrectly in Navigation pane.
- Images didn't always clear correctly when change drawer.
- An issue with Paste that caused a crash with third party datatypes.
- Pasting is considerably faster now, especially for small files.
- When pasting items and skip a duplicate item, the progress bar was not being
updated correctly.
- Had wrong list name in the MultiAssign requester.
- The default icon is now more type specific.
- Add Icon didn't do datatypes check.
- Localized Bit Rate and Sample Rate values.
- Sorting issue with a couple view styles.
- When changed tabs that had different view styles, the columns were not
resized correctly.
- Switching tabs with same location type but different view styles works much
better.
- Protection bits weren't displayed correctly.
- Paste exists was showing same info for both files. And sometimes garbage.
- After doing a DOS function on a few files, then abort before finishing, the
list was not refreshed after cancelling.
- Small bug in New Drawer requester.
- Bug in thumbnail preview image for WHDLoad icons.
- Gadget text spacing in Prefs->View style.
- When change the layout the listbrwoser placement is remembered.
- Updated my progress bar border.
- Updated Preview Sound progress bar usage.
- Delete could potentially clear the wrong item(s) in the list when done.
- Preview Assign wasn't displaying.

### Changed
- Toggle EXIF metadata pane is now F7.
- View menu->Toggle metadata pane F7
- JPG -> JPEG for file type names.
- Preview Sound now requires Enhancer Pack v1.4 sound.datatype (54.6) or
newer to use the Play/Pause functionality. Else still Play/Stop for original
datatype.
- Preferences->ViewStyle->View style
moved to new Preferences->Locations.
- Paste now retains the original date/time of the drawer/file.

### Removed
- RAWBInfo is no longer used for Information for assigns, drawers, and files.
- 3 spacer images.
- Forum link from About window.
- "Visit the web site..." line of text in About.
- User support code.

This is mainly a bug fix release for the holidays.

Download the latest version from the usual places:

* Project menu->Check latest version
* AmiUpdate
* Aminet
* OS4Depot


###### [2.2 build 9000] - 2018-12-18 Happy Holidays!
### Added
- Preferences->Appearance
You can now specify listbrowser background colors for the Navigation pane like
you can for the Content pane.
- Paste, file exists but is delete protected, you are now prompted with Force,
Force all, Skip, or Abort.
- Tool Type Editor now shows both icon images.
- Tool Type Editor, click on the icon image will save the tool types and
launch the program for testing.

### Fixed
- After making "permanent" changes in Preferences and hit Cancel, those
changes are un-done better now.
- Preferences->Window->Open on own screen
This will disable the window position gadgets since they are not necessary.
- Preferences->Window->Save position
If checked then the gadgets are enabled.
- "Get drawer size" said "No files selected" when it should say "No drawers
selected."
- When Cut/Paste a link, the linked item was deleted, not just the link.
- Paste is better at handling a drawer with the same filename in it. Faster.
- Cut/Copy append was not appending correctly.
- Delete is better at handling a drawer with the same filename in it. Faster.
- Bug that affected some people when using Quit All and some other functions.

### Changed
-Preferences->Window
Autosave position -> Save position
Just to clarify, if this is checked then when save preferences the window size
and position will be saved, as well. Once you have your desired size and
position you should uncheck this option.
- Use my InfoData gadget class where appropriate.

### Removed
- Horizontal bar above OK/Cancel gadgets in all windows. Smog. ;-)
