What's new

v6.5 [Jan 25, 2011]
- Added a "Brand New User Wizard" and made a few changes to help get setup easier for a new GetRight user.
- Fix a crash on startup for some people
- New SSL files.
- New installer tool.
- Fixes for some Vista issues.
- Maintenance and lots of little fixes (see below).
- New graphics. Greatly improved appearance for Vista and XP.
- New "Find Files" button links to convenient categories of software on the new FindFiles.com.
- Fixed click monitoring with Opera 9.5.
- Fixed NTLM proxy/website authorizations.
- Added some more checks for leftover windows (especially in Auto w/ lots of little files.)
- Added to the right-click menu for the "tip" message to turn it off when Automatic Mode is on.
- Added more tries to remove .GetRight from a file if it's locked.
- Improved some disk space checks and messages.
- Fixes for daylight savings time on the day of the time change.
- Fixed recover-lost making things uppercase (if done by double-clicking a .GetRight file.)
- Changed some default values and settings.
- Fix several Vista issues with detecting web browser clicks.
- Improved the Shutdown when Done so the options are all in one easy menu.
- Fixed issues with Vista/XP/2003 and DEP (Data Execution Protection.)
- Changed how segmenting/accelerating data is stored. This allows breaking up a file into many more pieces and storing more efficiently.
- Changed how "Open" saves files back to the old way....but added the option on the Advanced--Saving about where to save files clicked as "Open" on the "Save/Open" window.
- Added one-time-prompt about detecting URLs on the clipboard.
- Added so Verify should save states better; if add something in the middle, shouldn't make it restart, etc. (Pressing F5 will reset all the verify states.)
- Added "GetRight Import Types (*.grx;*.urls;*.lst)" as a quick convenience default for when importing.
- Added so QuickSync does some "make unique filename" so INDEX.HTM?xyz would get saved better.
