Show/hide preview button disappears after float/dock of preview pane. Use the View dropdown menu or Ctrl+Alt+V to toggle the preview pane. Fixed in beta 1.3.5 build 3708.
"Directory not accessible" during startup. May occur if ScanDir is started from a virtual folder (SymLink). Message can be ignored. Fixed in beta 1.3.5 build 3507.
"Directory not accessible" after Copy/Move and [v] Goto target directory, if a new directory was created during Copy/Move. Refresh the parent directory (right-click in the directory Tree). Fixed in beta 1.3.5 build 3431.
Rename Case appends (0) to filename(s) if there are no other changes. Perform a second Rename to remove (0) from the filename(s). Fixed in beta 1.3.5 build 3429.

"Not Responding" during Copy/Move. This problem was introduced in version 1.3.3 and is related to the size of the (expanded) directory tree. Wait. ScanDir will respond again, but this may take a few minutes. Fixed in beta 1.3.5 build 2822.

Misleading error message: 'The system cannot find the path specified' when opening a file with pathname + filename containing more than 259 characters. The maximum length of a foldername is: 248 characters. The maximum length of a filename (including the path/foldername) is: 259 chracters. Try to rename the folder or file so that the total length (pathname + filename) does not exceed 259 characters. ScanDir will display the following error message: 'Path + filename cannot exceed 259 characters'. Fixed in beta 1.3.5 build 2717.
'Error in regular expression message' when [v] Regular Expression set by default and Scan string= *.*. Use empty Scan string instead. Fixed in beta 1.3.5 build 1709.
