version 5.3.0

  • The Deskbar's time view now shows a nice calendar when you click over it and hold the mouse button.
  • Tray icons will now be layouted better when new ones appear, or disappear.
  • Switcher can now quit applications when you press the 'q' key in the Switcher window.

  • Support for undo/redo of Tracker operations (but no undelete, of course)
  • The parent menu list in the lower left of a Tracker window is now fully navigable, making it much more usable.
  • Numerous subtle usability improvements in the file panel.
  • There is now an icon in the upper right corner representing the current directory - you can use this to drag around instead of having to open its parent for this.
  • Folder attributes can now be put onto the clipboard, and pasted from there, too.
  • A possible work-around for the freezing bug on some R5 systems has been found - please give feedback if it works for you.
  • Improved drag&drop behaviour in Tracker.
  • Network shares now get a proper icon in Tracker that differentiates them from mounted images.
