ExplorerTreeView 1.x isn’t dead yet, just a bit rusty. 🙂 I’ve released version 1.15.0 which has some performance improvements and – more important – runs much more stable. Many thanks to Christian Lütgens for helping me nailing down the AutoUpdate crashes by providing helpful crashdumps and bug reports.
Speaking of crashdumps, ExplorerTreeView 1.x comes with (stripped) debug symbols now.
