Filelocker now allows you to view your locked files without having to unlock or restore. This makes it much easier to keep track of files within Filelocker because files will no longer have to be restored and re-locked when they are viewed. FileLocker will open your files with the correct program, and gives you the option to set different programs to open the files with.

Improved File Scanning and Searching

Searching for files now allows for a variety of search criteria making importing much quicker and easier.

Improved Help System with Index and Search Features

The Filelocker Help System has been improved to allow searches, browse indexed lists of search words as well as links to all help pages in the knowledgebase.

More Flexible Exporting Capabilities

Users can now export their locked files back to the computer without unlocking them from Filelocker.  This capability is useful for unlocking files and not having to re-lock them back after using them.  A copy of the file remains locked within Filelocker and an unlocked copy also exists on the computer.
