Version History

A large part of this version history is not serious (especially before v3), but it is always interesting to remember that I learnt most of what I know about designing/implementing/supporting a software through that.

Version Date Description
5.2.7 2007/03/31
  • Fixed a crash sometimes happening while loading results.
5.2.6 2007/03/25
  • Improved UI responsiveness (using threads) under Mac OS X.
  • Improved result load/save speed and memory usage.
  • Fixed a "bad file descriptor" error occasionally popping up.
  • Fixed a bug with non-latin directory names.
  • Fixed a column mixup under Windows. The Artist column couldn't be shown.
  • Fixed a bug causing the sorting under Power Marker mode not to work under Mac OS X.
5.2.5 2007/02/14
  • Added Re-orderable columns. In fact, I re-added the feature which was lost in the C# conversion in 5.2.0 (Windows).
  • Changed the behavior of the scanning engine when setting the hardness to 100. It will now only match files that have their words in the same order.
  • Fixed a bug with all the Delete/Move/Copy actions with certain kinds of files.
5.2.4 2007/01/10
  • Fixed a bug with the Move action.
  • Fixed a "ghosting" bug. Dupes deleted by dupeGuru would sometimes come back in subsequent scans (Windows).

5.2.3 2007/01/04
  • Fixed bugs sometimes making dupeGuru crash when marking a dupe (Windows).
  • Fixed some minor visual glitches (Windows).
5.2.2 2006/12/21
  • Improved Id3v2.4 tags decoding to support some malformed tags that iTunes sometimes produce.
  • Improved the rename file dialog to exclude the extension from the original selection (so when you start typing your new filename, it doesn't overwrite it) (Windows).
  • Changed some menu key shortcuts that created conflicts (Windows).
  • Fixed a bug preventing files from "reference" directories to be displayed in blue in the results (Windows).
  • Fixed a bug preventing some files to be sent to the recycle bin (Windows).
