FCS Maintenance Pack 1.2.4 released

Yesterday we released FCS Maintenance Pack 1.2.4, a bugfix and polish release. Notable changes include:

Logging

Most of the applications now generate detailed logs showing exactly what the application did while it was processing, and if it encountered any problems along the way. It will also create separate logs for tasks started by Task Scheduler, letting you know when the task last ran and the actions it performed.

These logs are available in the Help > Troubleshooting menu.

Support for future beta versions

We will be entering a public beta stage soon for the next major version of FCS Maintenance Pack. With this in mind, Software Update can now notify you of beta software updates. This makes it easier for us to distribute betas while at the same time separating them from regular stable releases.

Participation is optional so you will need to switch this on in Software Update preferences.

Other changes

• QT Repair - Fixed an issue where large files would not repair correctly
• System Toolkit - Speed increases when performing Refresh Files and Strip Temp Files scans
• System Toolkit now pays attention to language settings when showing eligible files for streamlining
• Corrupt Clip Finder no longer stops processing when it encounters a read-only hidden file
• FCS Housekeeper - Now closes running apps before cleaning and reopens them when it finishes
• Software updater can now check for beta updates (switch this on in preferences)
• Path Manager - Fixed a bug with the Qmaster cluster path not being recognized when using the Browse button
• Task Scheduler - Reduction in the CPU usage and disk I/O of scheduled tasks
• Task Scheduler - Fixed a bug that would sometimes cause tasks to repeat over and over
