A couple of minor tweaks:
1) There is now a 'size' column.
2) The setup window had 'date fromat' instead of 'date format'. It has been fixed.
The download link is unchanged.

To update, just overwrite NewDarkLoader.dll (in the main Thief folder) with the new copy, other files are unchanged. No need to do any setup again and you'll be right where you left off, although I additionally chose to do a 'Scan ALL FMs' to fill in the whole column.
Here's how it looks...

Well the update has brought a bug with it. Now my buttons that were at the bottom of the screen are gone. No way to play game, setup or play fan mission. All I did was download the update and copy over the 3 files. How do I get the buttons back? Any help appreciated!
Edit: I also notice that when it loads in full screen or minimized my window 10 status bar or whatever you call it shows up at the bottom of the screen. It didn't do this before the update.

Wow, you're right, Sting! Sorry I didn't notice that earlier, just took a quick screenshot with the new column and gave that easy way to update. But I hadn't tried to play a FM yet or would've seen there are indeed no bottom buttons.
I just tried doing a complete new setup but they are still missing, and I can also see that he made the first-start window (how it opens the first time after setup) narrower so it doesn't run off the screen, and I bet something from that change caused this issue. Don't see the other problem with the Windows taskbar, if that's what you mean at the bottom of the screen, but this version needs fixing anyway.
Do you still have the original NewDarkLoader.dll file to copy back for the time being? That's the only file that changed, the other two are the same versions as before. If not, Brethren's link above still has the original. Other taffers should hold off and keep using the original release until R Soul has a chance to correct this.

Ok got the download from Brethren and all is well. The task bar apparently was always there. I hope R Soul fixes it quickly as I really liked the size column.

I'll have a look later. For now I've put Brethren's link in the first post. :o

I've had a positive report by PM about my attempt to fix the UI bug. Before releasing the next version I'd like a few others to have a look too. Post here or send me a PM if you're interested.
Although I don't like the idea of fixing people's FMs for them, the fact that Darkloader did this may have led some authors to believe their FMs were fine. I've begun working on this feature for NDL.
