Good to see this is still going. I thought it had become abandonware.

 

It "phones home" even when check for updates are disabled, why? Previous versions did not "phone home" and my settings have not changed.

 

Block it in your firewall. Easy Peasey

 

Nice to see dark mode support

Spoiler: Changes v3.05

WizFile 3.05 (22 November 2021)

• file name search will now ignore character accents (like é and ö) when searching.
  e.g. searching for "melee" will now correctly match file names containing "mêlée" or "MÊLÉE"
• new file length and path length search terms added:
  Use namelen and pathlen to search by file name and path length
  e.g. to find files with path length greater than 255:
  pathlen>255
  to find file names with exactly 1 character:
  namelen=1
• Not (!) operator was not working correctly when followed by quoted search text - fixed
• some results were not being included when using "?" wildcard and searching entire path - fixed
• File search box and highlighted text were not handling right to left languages like Arabic correctly - fixed
• Window animations settings could be reset when WizFile was running full screen - fixed
• WizFile will now handle screens with very high DPI (scaling >=200%) correctly. Previously title bar icons were too small.
• Light mode header colors were incorrect on Xp/2003 with themes disabled - fixed
• "Explore folder" and "command prompt here" functions were not working on older versions of Windows if "launch applications as administrator" option was not enabled (XP/2003) - fixed
• WizFile would not start minimized on older versions of Windows (pre Vista). Toggle "start with windows" off and on again to fix.
