12.12.06 Fixed: New overwrite dialog showed the wrong custom fields when multiple field types were defined via saved searches (e.g. >Comment)
12.12.06 Fixed: Lister: Image not centered (when this option was chosen) when resizing or maximizing lister
12.12.06 Fixed: Create directory: Only save typed name in history when the user clicked on OK, not when he clicked on Cancel
12.12.06 Fixed: ftps:// URLs didn't work as parameters passed to Total Commander
10.12.06 Fixed: Multi-monitor: Separator line between main menu and button bar too short if program spans across both screens
