- A new custom settings edit field in the profile editor for ScummVM profiles
allows to add any custom configuration settings to the ScummVM ini file
when starting a ScummVM profile.
- Added new functions in ScummVM profile editor: Option to disable joystick
support, option to setup an extra path, option to setup render mode,

profile is started and restored when the program quits (both optional).
- You can define a default keyboard layout and a default codepage per DOSBox
installation now.
- On the first page of the of the wizard now you can choose how many things the

- Auto setup templates from existing profiles can now also be created via the
export menu.
- Now also images from the games data folder can be used in screenshot mode in
the games list.

- Updated DOSZip from 1.28 to 1.31.
- Moved most program files to a "Bin" subfolder of the installation directory
and moved all configuration files to a "Settings" subfolder of the
installation data directory. (This will make the usage of portable
installations easier because less files in the main program main directory
will make finding the DFend.exe faster.)
- Now also icons inside program dialogs can be replaced via the Icons.ini file.
- "Open program folder" now also available for ScummVM and Windows games.
- [Fix] Starting games via DOSBox failed if the game file uses a long filename

info dialog.

Version 0.4.0 (05/14/2008)

if you want to restore the deleted file.
- Now you can setup a codepage to be used in DOSBox for each profile.
Additionally there is a default codepage stored in each language file which
will be used if the codepage is set to "default" in the profile.

key mapper file is defined, the DOSBox default key mapper file will be used.)

be defined now (some kind of complement of the Autoexec.bat commands).
- Now you can also make installer packages from your profile templates.
- The templates dialog now has an option to change multiple templates at once
(like the multi profile editor for normal profile).

interpreted absolute (in the physical file system) or relative (to the file
system in DOSBox).
- Now you can configurate in the setup dialog if D-Fend Reloaded should show
configuration options in the profile editor which can only be used with
DOSBox CVS builds (like multiple floppy images per drive, PhysFS support,
setting the number of text mode lines, VGA chipset and video RAM, Glide
emulation and printer support).
- When changeing multiple profiles, creating installers etc. now you can select
and unselect profiles also by any user defined information. (Until now
selecting was only possible by the predefined fields like language,
developer, year, etc.)
- Profiles (conf and prof files), screenshots and captured sound can be
imported by drag&drop now. Dragging program files to the D-Fend Reloaded
program window will open the new profile wizard with the chosen file.
- Within the multi profile editor you can add, change and delete user-defined
information fields now.
- For each profile you can define some extra files which will be transfered,
uninstalled and packed into installer packages together with the other game
files (like it is already possible with the extra directories).
- The profile editor will show a warning if the user trys to create a new
profile with no game program filename (and is not using a boot image option).
- When opening the select game exe or select setup exe dialog from the profile
editor or the wizard the path of the setup exe or the game exe (if already
defined) will be used as initial directory instead of the games base
directory.
- When a checksum error (changed or exchanged game program file) is detected,
D-Fend Reloaded now also offers the option to turn off checksums for the
profile (until now only keep old checksum or create new checksum).
- The checksum driven game file change detection can be turned off in the setup
dialog now.
- The mount dialog will show a warning if the users trys to use the same drive

encoded to mp3 or ogg directly from the dialog now.
- The screenshot view dialog has been improved: You can cycle though the
screenshots of a profile via two new toolbar buttons (or by using the cursor
keys or the mouse wheel) without closing the dialog. Additionally the zoom

- The import conf file function now trys to make mount records from the mount
commands of the autoexec section.

the version in memory will be lost as long as you do not make any changes to
the profile in memory before closing D-Fend Reloaded.
- [Fix] The boot from floppy image function did not work if you used a single
image file.
- [Fix] When using D-Fend Reloaded in portable mode the path to the DOSBox
