13.06.06  Added: If no button bar location is specified in the wincmd.ini, assume default.bar the program dir. If this file is not writable, copy it to the ini file dir and use it from there, so the user can change it
12.06.06  Added: When TC starts, make sure that the specified directory for the ini files wincmd.ini and wcx_ftp.ini really exists, otherwise create it

17.05.06  Fixed: The already running instance of TC wasn't restored when minimized to tray and only 1 instance allowed when starting TC again
10.05.06  Fixed: Using watchdirs sometimes produced duplicate file names (reason: Windows reported the file with a different upper-/lowercase than it exists on disk)
10.05.06  Fixed: Holding down Alt+Shift+F6 (test archive) with AlwaysUnpackInBackground option set could cause access violation -> only allow to open next dialog after 500 ms delay

03.03.06  Fixed: When unpacking, remove relative paths in the form ..\ or ...\ (any number of dots >=2) -> this would place the file in the parent dir, which is a potential security risk
03.03.06  Fixed: Lister: Printing selection printed junk in the first line if the selection was made beyond the beginning of the file
01.03.06  Fixed: Right click -> New submenu: look in "All Users\Templates" if template not found in "<username>\Template"
26.02.06  Fixed: Files - Unpack all not working with files named e.g. test..zip when "Unpack each archive to separate subdir" was checked
22.02.06  Fixed: When using "Show only selected files" in thumbnails view while thumbs were still being extracted, the wrong thumbs could be shown -> clear thumbs extraction queue
21.02.06  Fixed: With WatchDirs=5, files could disappear from the list when editing them in some editors
10.02.06  Added: Synchronize dirs: "Close" button now changed to "Abort" during comparison (function re-inserted into 6.x line after the release of TC 6.54a)
10.02.06  Added: Synchronize dirs: react to windows messages also during normal compare, not only during compare by content -> can abort with mouse, or switch to other program and back

24.05.05   Fixed: Trying to access a server with cd \\server in the command line where the server has no guest account causes connect dialog. Clicking on cancel shows again connect dialog when trying to open subdir
