[Thomas L. <ta...@ec...>]

ROX-Filer 2.1.5 has been released:

	http://rox.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/index.php/ROX-Filer

To upgrade and run it, do:

	$ 0refresh rox.sourceforge.net
	$ /uri/0install/rox.sourceforge.net/testing/rox

(note that only the script in 'testing' runs 2.1.5 at the moment; the
script in the main site directory runs 2.1.4)

People not using Zero Install can download it from here instead:

Changes since 2.1.4:


New features:

- Progress bar for action boxes (Stephen Watson).

- Can now disable use of extended attributes (Stephen Watson).

- Allow renaming multiple files at once. This opens the Bulk Rename
  window, which allows manual editing of the names, as well as
  regular-expression based transformations (Thomas Leonard).

- Much faster thumbnail generation (Ken Hayber, reported by Anthony DiSante).

- When closing a filer window showing a directory under a user-mounted
  mount-point, offer to unmount the device if no other filer window also
  shows that mount point (requested by Tony Houghton and others). Also do
  this check when changing to a parent directory (Thomas Leonard).

- The icons for mount point and symbolic link are now side-by-side, not
  one on top of the other, and a new icon is used to mark files with
  extended attributes (Stephen Watson).

- Added PinboardRemove() SOAP call (Stephen Watson).


Changes:

- Scale iconified window icons on the pinboard down to normal size (Ken
  Hayber).

- Slight change to install script for when the installation directory is
  on an NFS mount (Stephen Watson).

- Rename buttons in Set Run Action box so that they make sense (Thomas
  Leonard; reported by Jonatan Liljedahl).

- Set the name for filer windows to 'rox-filer'. This allows theming the
  fonts just for ROX-Filer (Lucas Hazel).

- Better extended attribute detection under Solaris (Stephen Watson).

- More extended attribute support. The "Set Type..." menu item should be
  disabled if not supported by the system or FS (Stephen Watson).

- Method of scaling pinboard images is now an option, as the default could
  produce poor results on some systems (Stephen Watson).

- Only show executable files in green if clicking would actually run them,
  not just because they have the execute bit set (Thomas Leonard).


Bug fixes:

- An extra arrow had appeared in the Find box (Thomas Leonard).

- We were inconsistent about when filenames were escaped. Eg, creating a
  directory called "a%20b" actually created "a b" (Thomas Leonard).

- Panel icons with no label displayed an empty tooltip (Thomas Leonard).

- Selecting a pinboard icon only redrew the text part (Thomas Leonard).

- Filer would crash when the screen was resized if there was no pinboard
  (Thomas Leonard).

- Xinerama support had broken panel repositioning in response to XRANDR
  screen resizing events (Thomas Leonard).

- Pressing Escape now closes the Properties box (reported by Arnaud
  Calvo).

- Test for presence of extended attributes on Solaris gave wrong answer
  when they were not supported (Stephen Watson).

- Use gtk_selection_data_set_text instead of gtk_selection_data_set when
  pasting filenames so that other applications know the string is UTF-8
  (Thomas Leonard; reported by Dennis).

- Dragging a lasso box above the top of the window in details mode
  selected all the items outside the box (Thomas Leonard; reported by
  Anthony DiSante).


Translations:

- Updated Japanese translation (Hiroaki Tanaka).

- Updated Dutch translation (Jan Wagemakers).

- Updated Chinese translation (Babyfai Cheung).

- Updated it.po and Manual-it.xml (Yuri Bongiorno)
