RecentTab 1.5.1

RecentTab - Total Commander WFX plugin: recently changed files as a virtual panel

- Shows what you changed or created in the folders you actually care about - one live, virtual panel instead of hunting through Explorer. Powered by Everything.

- Recording - on/off switch right in the panel, survives restarts
- Search - jump to any past time range, not just "recent"
- Color themes - four presets plus your own, light/dark or automatic by time of day
- Auto-Refresh - the panel updates itself on a schedule
- Lost files - notices when something you were tracking disappears, and searches for where it went without leaving TC
- Folder tree - see how your watched folders actually branch out, dead paths marked clearly
- Extra columns - change type, relative time, source folder, session number, already opened, locked status
- Custom icons, bundled fonts, brightness sliders - every visual detail adjustable
- Over 60 settings, all documented in the ini itself
- Five languages (English, German, Russian, Ukrainian, Danish) - follows TC's own language automatically

What's new

#Added#

- The interface language now follows Total Commander automatically (Language=auto, the new default). The section is taken from the part after the last _ of TC's language file, so extended files like WCMD_TCEXT_DEU.LNG are recognized too. Language=deu etc. still pins a language.
- Ukrainian and Danish interface. Russian is now included in the main language file instead of a separate template.
- Correct singular/plural forms ("1 minute ago" instead of "1 minutes ago"), including the three Russian/Ukrainian forms.
- Visible ! Folder tree entry in ! menu. Alt+Enter on ! menu still works. It can be moved to the root with RootButtons=FolderTree, and its icon replaced via FolderTreeIcon=.
- New plugin icon.
- README in Ukrainian and Danish, with language links at the top of all five versions.
- pluginst.inf with descriptions in all five languages.
- Background notes in notes\ now available in all five languages. New notes on language detection (language), the folder tree (folder-tree) and its menu entry (folder-tree-entry); the existing notes on sort reset and lost files were translated into Ukrainian and Danish.

#Changed#

- Language file renamed from RecentTab_lang.ini to RecentTab.lng. The old name is still read if no .lng exists. Color_ini_example.ini is no longer needed and has been removed.
- The Alt+Enter dialog shows the language actually in use, including whether it was taken from TC.
- The interval start date is shown numerically (25.09. 14:30) instead of with English month abbreviations.
- notes\ reorganized into one subfolder per topic (lost-files previously sat inside sort-reset).

#Fixed#

- A translation with wrong or missing placeholders (%ls, %d …) could crash Total Commander. Such lines now fall back to English and are noted in the debug log.
- Seven lines in the Alt+Enter dialog were missing their line break whenever the language file was loaded (English included).
- Overflow protection for long texts in the Lost-file info window and the Alt+Enter dialog.
- Documentation corrections: theme count, outdated references, NoColors comment, search field names, folder tree description.
- The README references to notes/folder-tree/ and notes/lost-files/ pointed to folders that didn't exist in the repository.

#Note when updating#

- The ! … panel entries are translated. If TC runs in a language other than English and your RecentTab.ini has no Language= line, the entry names will change after the update. A button or hotkey pointing at e.g. \RecentTab! REC then no longer matches. Setting Language=eng keeps the previous behavior.
- Copy the new icons\foldertree.ico along with the update.
