- The default settings exclude the A: drive now. This change will only affect new installs. There are some older systems out there that have floppy drives that spin up whenever Desk Drive checks the state of the drive. I still get a surprising number of emails about this. Old hardware never dies or at least dies slowly. I shouldn't complain. I still have a desktop system here at home in service with a manufacture date of November 1998.
- Desk Drive is now localized in Vietnamese. Thats 21 languages and growing. Its super easy to translate Desk Drive to a new language. Just open DeskDrive.exe.xml in Notepad (dont use Wordpad, Word or other word processors because they add extra, private character sequences that Desk Drive wont understand) and edit the default language as appropriate. Then restart the program. Once you get things looking the way you want, send me the file and Ill add it to the next release

- Version 1.8 introduced Windows 7 compatibility and version 1.8.1 tweaks it a little more. I have found a few minor issues that likely no one but myself would notice. But like any author, I know my program for all its faults and not its strengths. So if you notice the changes between 1.8 and 1.8.1, good for you and remember there is therapy available for people like us.
- While I had to make some minor changes to Desk Drive to make it Windows 7 compatible, I have also gained a feature without any work what so ever. If you set Desk Drive to open Windows Explorer automatically, it also closes the open window when the USB drive is removed. That is something I have wanted for a while and it just seems to work on Windows 7 (on my box at least).
- A couple of usage notes on "Remembered icon positions". First off, it won't work if your desktop is set to "Auto arrange". Makes sense when you think about it but it's not obvious when you first encounter the problem. Also, very occasionally, I get a report about remembered icon positions not working on multi-monitor setups. I've never been able to run down the issue since it doesn't happen here. However, there is a work around.
- In the DeskDrive.exe.config file there is a setting called Monitor Offset. It's an X,Y pair. If icons are appearing on the wrong screen you can usually just set the X offset to the width of the primary monitor. Sometimes it's the negative width. The multi-monitor API is suppose to handle these details but it doesn't seem to always work. Probably a bug on my part but I've never been able to corner it.

- Desk Drive 1.7.2 includes two new translations. Korean and Traditional Chinese. Thanks to everyone for helping with the translations. Also some minor bug fixes. Enjoy.

| Wersja 1.7.1 z 2009/10/04 |
Zmiany:
- Version 1.7 of Desk Drive introduced a bug. When enough files were added or deleted from a removable device (like a USB stick), Desk Drive would add another shortcut to the desktop. This bug was related to the 1.7 feature showing total/free space for removable devices. Version 1.7.1 fixes this (hopefully).
- I've also had reports that the Locus effect is not always in the correct location. When monitors are positioned so that the primary monitor is negatively offset from the secondary monitor (monitor 1 is right of monitor 2), the Locus effect can appear on the wrong screen. Turns out that there is no good way to detect this and even if I did, I likely would not get it right for all circumstances. So, I've added a MonitorOffset setting to DeskDrive.exe.config that allows you to add an offset to the X and Y positions to compensate.
