What's New in This Release:

• Feature: Added support for compression of temp files created by Duplicate File Detective during search operations. Option is enabled by default, but can be turned off in the advanced tab of preferences window. Requires that user/system temp folder location resolves to NTFS file system.
• Feature: Added ability to compare parent folders (up to a specified depth) when searching for duplicate files.
• Feature: Added drop arrow to search/excluded panel toolbars to allow for adding of mapped network drive or drop-and-drop of paths from Windows Explorer.
• Feature: Improved detection of cases were two files refer to the same physical file system location, and thus should not be compared. Some tests are NTFS file system specific.
• Feature: Improved efficiency and scalability of event log viewer. It can now display a very large number of events with minimal impact on memory consumption.
• Feature: Event log viewer now remembers column sizing changes, and no longer flickers when window is resized.
• Feature: Various performance (XML import, etc.) and theme improvements.
• Bug fix: Fixed rare exception that could occur when attemping to hash zip files with invalid / corrupt field data.
• Bug fix: Ribbon bar customizations were not being retained between sessions.
• Bug fix: Fixed two obscure cases where file open return checks were not being performed correctly.
• Bug fix: Changing the log file directory would cause logging to fail until the application was restarted.
• Change: Removed "delete all" button from search/excluded path panel toolbars. This function can still be accessed via context menu (right-click within panel).
• Change: Retired the "do not compare hard linked files" comparison option. This behavior is now always in effect.
