0.5.5 - 20 Apr 2006
- Added setting to adjust delay on drive idle check and file finished check.
- Fixed bug preventing custom command lines from working.
- Added DirMon2Hidden.exe for those of you that want to use DirMon2 in the same way as the original DirMon (i.e. NOT as a service)

This release address the two largest complaints that I have seen:
1) Wait until the drive and or file aren't being used wasn't working.
Thanks to a very astute user that noticed write caching was probably causing this. If the wait check marks aren't working for you, try increasing the wait times. It has been reported that times of up to 5 minutes may be required depending on your specific write caching.

2) Figuring out the permissions and service login's is too friggin' complicated! Why can't it work like DirMon1?
Now it can. Simply run DirMon2Hidden.exe and it will start DirMon2 as a hidden program. You will need to use the task manager to kill it though.

0.5.6 - 20 Jun 2006
- Changed method used to determine if a file is being used or written to. Added "Wait until file is idle" option to reflect new methods.
- *NOTE* "Wait until file is finished" attempts to secure write access to the file in question. It will not write to the file or change it in any way. Failure indicates the file is already being written to. Although this can also be caused by a program improperly setting access modes. (Windows Media Player is known to do this)
- *NOTE* "Wait until file is idle" attempts to secure delete access to the file in question. It will not delete the file. Failure indicates another program has the file open, either for reading or writing. Access restrictions to the directory can also cause this test to always flag.
- *NOTE* "Wait until drive is idle" checks the free space on the drive, waits for the number of seconds specified in the "Wait time" block, and then checks again. If the free space has decreased, then the drive is determined to be "In use".
- Added Process ID to the Active List.

As always, keep the bug reports coming...

So, I was testing the latest DirMon2 last night by erasing all my txt files and watching DM2 run SA. While looking at the queue, I noticed that none of the X-Files showed up. Not one. Closer inspection revealed that every show that started with a letter after P didn't show up in the queue. Huh? How's that for a wierd bug. I'm suprised no one reported it. You would see this bug if you have DM2 monitoring a root directory with a pagefile or a recycle bin. Anyway, it's fixed and here is a release to fix that really wierd bug.

0.5.7 - 26 Jun 2006
- An entry in the Activity Log will now be made when deleting a file.
- Fixed bug causing some files to never be found.
- Changed forward slashes to back slashes. (Happy?)

Enjoy,

0.6.2 - 3 October 2006

Enjoy,
