Version 2.1 has a lot to offer give it a try right away!

• You can now compare files. (Only works for text files not word documents etc.) History Explorer will automatically detect what file comparison tool is installed on your computer and use it. If you have a comparison tool that History Explorer doesn't detect you can manually specify it on the settings page.
• The tray menu now includes a list of recent files. Enabling you to easily access the files you are working on at the moment. Here are the options you get on each recent file:
  • Open History Explorer in the folder that contains the file
  • Comment on the file version without opening History Explorer
  • Remove the file version from the database
• We have added a tray notification window that is shown when ever:
  • A file is saved
  • A file isn't saved due to file size restrictions in your settings
  • The database is bigger than the limit you have set in the settings

  The tray notifications can easily be enabled or disabled. And have been created with a lot of logic so that you won't get too many notifications even when working with a great amount of files.

• The tray notification window not only helps you see when files are saved it also:
  • Lets you comment on the file version
  • Lets you delete the file version
  • Lets you open History Explorer at the right place
• We have added 2 settings that help you control how much data is actually saved in the database.
  • You can now set a maximum number of file versions that should be saved for any file. Whenever the number of versions becomes too high the oldest file version will be removed from the database.
  • You can also set a maximum number of days to save any file version. This means that History Explorer will constantly be cleaning the database for you.

Much appreciate the new features Peter,

Thanks for the programme, the newsletter and this forum.
I have purchased History Explorer a few months ago and it is already a great help for my daily work.

One/two question/s:
> You can now set a maximum number of file versions that should be saved for any file.
Is it possible to mark specific files that won't be deleted even if the limit will be exceeded?

Is it possible to automatically delete 0 bytes file versions? I usually have several of those in the history of Word documents.

Hi Korona

Good to hear from you again.
The 2 features you mention don't exist.
They seem like good ideas though and I'll put them up on the list of suggested features.
