What's new in this version:
Bug-fix release.When batch removing resource forks from the "Change Type and Creator for Enclosed..." dialog, XRay would, under certain circumstances, stop prematurely when one of the items already had an empty resource fork. This has been fixed. Cocoa applications with no NIB files were being incorrectly reported as Carbon applications. Dual-fork Mach-O files (yes, they exist!) were being incorrectly reported as Classic 68K applications. Xcode, Interface Builder and other Cocoa applications that depended upon a certain minimum JVM version were being incorrectly reported as Java applications. When running XRay as administrator, sometimes preference changes were being incorrectly saved to the "root" user's folder. This has been fixed. The eSellerate library has been updated to its latest version (3.5.6), making registration faster - at least until a new version comes out. Generic documents could be incorrectly reported as "Unix Executable File" if their executable permission was set. Actually, this seems to be a Panther bug; XRay now checks the file contents to see if the file is really executable object code, and reports it as such. (Some ".DS_Store" files seem especially susceptible to this.) Separate counts are now done for invisible files and folders, instead of conflating them into one count as previously. XRay now sends the user's Mac OS X version number back to my server when the online version checking facility is used, and the "Check for Updates..." window is opened automatically when you upgrade XRay. Please click on it whenever you upgrade XRay or your system, to give me statistics about which versions of Mac OS X are still being used; from what I see so far, 10.1.x is completely dead and 10.2.x (Jaguar) very nearly so. A crash when starting up XRay with some system configurations has been fixed. Some internal fixes and adjustments have been made.

i licensed XRay shortly after it came out and still like it best, though i had been a solid File Buddy user in the legacy Mac OS; XRay is handy for fix-up work, but also for exploring file attributes; i hope Rainer is working on an upgrade that will let us look into the new Spotlight metadata and explore the new Tiger file type system
This is the best progam to have to equalize X with 9 - Version: 1.1, 10/20/2004 02:22PM PST

Rainer you have done a great job providing us with an excellent piece of software that Apple should have included - whether you like permissions or not - this is the one huge problem with OS X - is corrupt permissions like after you change a user or bring files over from a firewire drive and find they are read only... I for one, much like the only one out of X lepers who was healed by Jesus want to return after today purchasing a serial no. and thank-you very much. We appreciate the work you put into this great ap. Ian
