v2.3-beta.0

on GitHub

This is a beta version of the new release 2.3, a lot of changes went into this release and it also includes new components. I have tested it extensively but it still may contain bugs. Please let me know if you encounter any problems or if you have any other feedback regarding this version.

New features and Bugfixes:

• Disabled settings during active search or deletion process
• Refactored the interface to improve the design and usability
  • Divided packed settings tab into three separate tabs
  • Renamed some options and captions to make more sense
  • Added more descriptions and examples to explain settings
  • Increased default window size and added more whitespace to make it look less crowded
• Optimized config defaults
  • Set pause between deletions to zero because the default delete to recycle bin method is slow enough to not overwhelm the GUI
  • Deleted some unnecessary legacy entries and updated some values
  • Removed *.tmp as default pattern to make the default settings safer because those files could still contain valuable data in some cases.
• Long paths support and other improvements
  • Fix crash due to case sensitivity of paths
  • Speed up crawl and deletion by disabling UI updates (dubbed "fast mode")
  • Long path support by switching to AlphaFS
  • And various other improvements (see closed pull request #5 for details)
• Ignore folders newer than N hours #3 (contributed by jsytniak, see #3)
