Just an FYI for you...

The context menu entry for FileAlyzer (1.5.5.0) contains a mis-spell:

"Analyse file with FileAlyzer"

That should be "Analyze" - with a Z (not an S).

Unless of course this was an intentional joke stemming from the original typo that led to the program's name - in which case you can ignore me. :clown:

Thanks, updated it in the installer for the next version :)

Looked into the dictionary: "analyse" is British English, "analyze" American English. And since I'm a native speaker of neither, receiving more british in Ireland and more American on the Internet, I guess it's easy to mix up ;) (even though those two - "s" vs. "z" and "o" vs. "ou" etc. all follow the same pattern and should be easy to remember ;) )

Ha! You're correct, it can be spelled with an "S" in British English. :D:

I'm familiar with "O" vs. "OU", but didn't know this one.

I actually did a dictionary check first, but my locally installed dictionary is American English only. Should have done an online check. :laugh:

Still, the "Z" version seems to be the more universally accepted version - even according to the online dictionaries (which I suppose is strange when you consider that "analysis" is never spelled "analyzis"...:)).

It would also be more consistent to use the "Z" since the program name is "FileAlyzer" and not "FileAlyser". ;)

You probably already caught it, but the change would also need to be made in the FoldAlyzer context menu entry:

"Analyse folder with FoldAlyzer" -> "Analyze folder with FoldAlyzer"

So is anything else coming in the next version beyond what is listed on the project page?

Yes, I saw that two lines down in the installer script :)

The Spybot-S&D beta forum has the OpenSBI stuff 1.6 preview versions of FileAlyzer etc..
Next to that, the discussion re: Firefox 3 there urges me to add support for some rough display of SQLite databases at least.
