 Updated:   May 7, 2000
 Source:   Source Not Available
  • Fixed the file preview so it kept the image's aspect ratio.
  • NetPenguin now has an extra menu called "Display" which will let you hide/show certain columns in the local/remote file lists. NP will remember the state of the columns between launches.
  • Fixed crashing bug when clicking on a local file.
  • Fixed a bug where the splitter would always drift 6 pixels to the left everytime you opened a new connection.
  • Fixed the NP replicant in the deskbar. It should show up now 100% of the time on BeOS 5 and later and should be persistant between reboots. So you just have to do "NetPenguin -deskbar" once now.
  • German and Japanese translations updated.
