Source Code

The following bugs have been fixed in this revision:

- Clicking cancel on the dialog box no longer switches to open mode.
- Choosing a menu option when no stream is selected no longer crashes the app
- The Path to Wordpad isn't hard coded anymore
- The app won't crash on a FAT-32 system anymore
- The GUI won't freeze after a long amount of files beeing scanned

The following new features have been added:

- You can now double-click on a file in seek mode to open it for stream editing.
- Two new functions, GetWordPadPath and CheckStreamCapability to support localized and non-NTFS systems
- You can now close the application during a search
- Streams are displayed as they are found, not only at the end of a search.

The 0-byte bug seems to be a Windows API bug, I will report it to Microsoft.

Finally, if you liked the update or have any comments about it, please post it as a comment either here or on the original article. Also, if you've never read the article before, please read it at the link above and vote for it if you liked it.
