I just checked the new version. It seems neither of the 3 issues I mentioned were fixed, or even mentionded as known issues.

The little weird coloring issue isn't really an issue to me since it's an artifact of the framework and not really something I can do anything about.

Ah, sorry, didn't know that. What framework are you using and who wrote it?
If that's the case (cannot be fixed), shouldn't you list this as a known issue? Something like "minor cosmetic problems with coloring one extra character in some cases" - just so that other testers don't submit this as a duplicate.

I would call it a side-effect, not an issue. To me, an issue is something I have control over and can fix.
The framework is the CONIO library in cc65. There are other little warts relating to the standard libraries in cc65 (I won't go over them here), but there's not much I can do about them short of hacking at cc65, which I really don't want to do.

It seems like the coloring effect shows up when performing all kinds of tasks (e.g. displaying the HELP file... on the first page the text color is blue except for the first char, on the following pages all the text is black).
I'm not familiar with CC65 at all but it's probably something simple (just a counter that is off by one or a flag that isn't reset, etc) and all the coloring effects are caused by the very same routine. Have you told the CC65 maintainers about this?
The nice layout/UI you created isn't meant to have these coloring effects (even if they don't seem to affect functionality).

There is a major bug in the way that CBM-Command handles batches of file that are selected using the select all hotkey that can cause directory corruption. Please discard any version older than 7/26/2010 (Version 1.6) and update to Version 1.6!

Since I can't "Double Post"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CBM-Command Version 1.7 has been released. This version has several bug fixes but also includes real-time statistics on file copy and disk image operations. There's also some visual goodness for 128 users.

Enjoy!
