Grab it here.

History info is now built in (File >> Info / History).

(I made a good sized change to the GUI, so if it is accepted well enough, I'll make the next release an official one. As in, not a thread to announce its release. :P I might even write docs. *gasp*)

cool i got thanked^^ Good changes =) Include Groups is very usefull and the gui is alot easier to use.

How do you draw the line between personal and theme files, because i only have personal files in my (special) setup.
There should be some indication that the app is in "capture mode". I first thought the app had crashed because nothing responded anymore, but i was only in the capture mode. Because it was running maximised, it took me a while to figure out with no other windows to click on in sight ^^
After each search, the app is resized to its startup size (but i like it better maximised ;)
Hotkeys would be awesome. Doubleclicking items should do something (change value perhaps).

Thanks for the early Christmas gift. Now how do I unwrap this thing...

Whoa...weird bug with the resizing after a search. o.O I'll have to look in to that later today. There actually is an indication when it's waiting to 'capture' something, but it's too subtle - I'll see about making it more obvious. I still have hotkeys noted, but it's lower on the list. ;) Personal files SHOULD be anything outside the theme folder. Is it separating them like that?

Thanks for the feedback.

edit -
Fixed the resizing after a search (and a couple other functions). It was a silly mistake. >< I'll update it in the 'official' release.

Here's so far for the next version:

-Fixed main GUI resizing after certain functions were executed.
-Added a confirmation before purging Restore/Search History lists to avoid accidents.
-Fixed Theme/Personal files not updating if the theme was changed.
-Added ability to choose which file to add new settings to (default = theme.rc if listview is empty, then selected listview item's file, or user selected in combo).

for me it seems to be unable to find out what my theme folder is, because it shows everything as personal files. How do you find out what the themedir is ?

I use $ThemeDir$ to get the directory, then I parse the theme.rc file for "include" lines to get the other theme files. (I'm going to change that last part to just scan the folder/sub folders for *.rc files I think.) Do you have that with your setup?

Sure do .. even in the same case ... it's odd. Do you compare strings case insesitive? Or maybe its some extra "' or /\ that confuse the parser.

Yup, case insensitive, but, I did find the problem. It was complete silliness on my part. I was already pulling ThemeName to stick in the title bar, so I figured I'll just recycle that. I was checking the file path's name to see if it contained the ThemeName - if it did, it went to the Theme Files menu. BUT, since ThemeName can be something totally different than the theme's actual directory - well, you get the idea. When parsing the info, if ThemeName didn't show up in the file's path, it would just dump everything in to the personal menu.

Anyway, it's all fixed for the next update. I now check for actual directory names, like I should have been in the first place. >&#60;
