Known Bugs (and features :-)

  • If you change/add a file association while V is running, V will continue to display the old file icons. In some cases, incorrect icons may be displayed. To fix this, you will have to restart V.
  • File tailing may not work on network drives (particularly Unix drives).
  • Using "." as the In Directory when doing a GREP may not work on network drives.
  • Greenbar does not always display properly in Print Preview - but it should print correctly.
  • Displaying Unicode files with foreign characters requires a font to be used that supports all characters in the file.
  • When a directory is entered into the Directory box, V will select the directory in the Explorer tree. This does not always work if the directory is a UNC (ie, in the format \\Computer\Directory)
