[gui-talk] FileDir Version 3.4 is now Available

FileDir version 3.4 is now available and a direct link to download the file is at

Here are the changes in this version:

Improved the optional script package to fine tune speech when using Window-Eyes.  Fixed the installer for the JAWS scripts so that it works with version 10.

Strengthened the error reporting system so that an unexpected event now results in a dialog with options to email the report, copy it to the clipboard, or exit FileDir.  To continue work without further action, press Escape to cancel the dialog.

As before, the copy, move, or paste commands prompt whether to overwrite existing folders and files.  You are informed whether the date of a target with the same name is older, newer, or current and whether its size is smaller, larger, or equal.  You can choose to keep all targets with the same names, replace them, or replace them only with updated source items.  A bug has been fixed that affected file comparisons after the first duplicate name was found in a target folder.  

A new option lets you increment source names to eliminate conflicts.  This is helpful when files with the same names contain essentially different content rather than different versions of the same content.  For example, if the file ReadMe.Txt exists in both the source and target folders, the source would be copied to the name ReadMe_01.txt instead.  You might then use the Tag Duplicate Files command, Alt+Shift+Period, to tag and then delete files that actually have identical content.
