AFAIR, the size information dialog of 1.29ß works properly when the values to show grow larger than 2^32-1. The beta also has (incomplete) support for filenames with up to 64 characters. > Any chance of producing a Ming update ? No - the Milan's company is dead and I have never received anything of the money agreed to be payed for each unit sold. Besides, it's likely that the final release of Thing will be freeware (but not open source), anyway. In that case, there wouldn't be a need for a Ming / N.Thing update at all.
