Danish translation
Context menu closes when the file is deleted while the dialogue is open

IMPROVED:

Some smaller bugs fixed
Bug fix in the selection of the drive while it is refreshing due a drive change

Can anyone fix the icon on the site: http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=2737 ?
The real icon is this: http://hendrik-schiffer.com/images/OW_Shredder_Logo.png

Yes, you are right, but when I tried to access it about an hour ago the site was down (I didn't take a screen-shot). The download link also works fine, thanks Midas and Happy New Year.

I can confirm that it was down; you can probably still recover that page from cache.

The site was down for a few hours, since the host had an attack on the server. Now the firewall is turned on and the issue should be fixed.
We never had any downtime before, so we are sorry for the problems occurred.

Very cool - we rarely get devs creating GIFs for us.

We personally prefer creating GIFs for easier use in third party domains. We regulary update the same GIF link, so you always see the newest user interface without manual updating on other sites.
