5.3.1
- This release fixes a number of problems displaying the number of unread mail messages on application icons.
- The unread count for Entourage now includes the inboxes of all IMAP, Hotmail, and Exchange accounts.
- The unread count for Entourage now works for localised versions.
- Due to a bug in Entourage v.X, trying to rebuild the mail database or switch identities while the unread count display is switched on in DragThing may cause Entourage v.X to crash. Switch the "Update application icons" popup menu to "Never" in the Advanced section of the DragThing Preferences in this case. This bug has been fixed in Entourage 2004.
- The unread count for PowerMail now includes the inboxes of all IMAP accounts.
- The Eudora unread count display has been disabled by default due to excessive CPU usage with a very large inbox. See www.dragthing.com for details on how to enable it again.
- Fixed problem with the NetNewsWire unread count being twice the actual number in some cases.
- DragThing no longer writes identical script errors to the console more than once.
- DragThing no longer tries to obtain the unread count for applications which aren't scriptable, such as NetNewsWire Lite.
- The splash screen now displays for a maximum of two seconds.
- This is a free upgrade for registered users of DragThing 5.
