Changes
Improvements to "spatial" properties of windows:
- Windows remember their position/size the next time you open them
- Folders in Icon view with Auto-arrange turned off will remember the positions of their icons
- Window titles update whenever their file is renamed
- Windows close whenever their file is deleted
- If a file/folder is already open in ChromaFiler, opening it again will show the existing window instead of a new one
Text editor improvements:
- The text editor is now called "ChromaText", and can optionally be installed as its own application, with a separate shortcut in the Start Menu / Taskbar / "Open With" menu.
- This replaces the old "New Scratch File" hack. Opening ChromaText will create a new scratch file.
- If a file type is set to open with ChromaText by default, ChromaFiler will always show the text editor for that type. This avoids having to configure preview handler associations.
- If you had set text files to open with ChromaFiler in a previous version, you'll want to change this to ChromaText.
- Text files remember their Word Wrap settings
- Added missing commands to the context menu
Improvements to window chains:
- Resizing the left edge of a window will shrink its attached parent proportionally. This prevents pushing windows off the left edge of the screen.
- Mouse cursor indicates which window will be resized
- Fixed windows overlapping on high DPI displays
Bug fixes:
- Fixed issue causing preview handlers to stop working
- Fixed window not focused after alt-tab

- Fixed right-clicking unselected items
- Fixed alt-double-click to open properties
- Fixed keyboard focus after pressing shift-tab to open parent

- Fixed tray font color changing after refresh
- Auto update check happens more consistently
- Other various bug fixes / improvements
