What's New in version 2.3? ========================== Welcome to the latest program update! Changes: -------- * The Favorite Files dialog box now also accepts directory names. When you add a directory name to the list, make sure it ends with a backslash "\" (otherwise it will be interpreted as a file name). When you open a directory item, the File Open dialog box is displayed pointing to the selected directory. * The ruler adds a slightly longer tick mark every fifth position when you use the inches or character option. * Added a new template for HTML color codes. Bug fixes: ---------- * All dialogs should now be sized correctly on systems configured to use large fonts for the screen display. * Minor interface inconsistencies have been fixed. What's New in version 2.22? =========================== Changes: -------- * Detects when another application changes a document and prompts to reload it. * Clipbook has new functionality. It can now be used to launch other programs, open current document in its associated application, open current document in specified program, open URLs. See help file for details and sample template LAUNCH.CLB. * Added a ruler with measurements in characters, inches, and millimeters. Click on it to toggle between the different units. When you place the mouse cursor over the ruler, the measurement at that position is indicated in the hint bar. * Tab alignment is more accurate. * Enlarged some of the dialogs to improve appearence on systems using large fonts. * Fixed several minor bugs. What's New in version 2.21? =========================== Changes: -------- * Can be executed from a CD-Rom or a write-protected disk. When executed from a CD-Rom, the editor's configuration files are saved in the Windows folder (directory). * Added the Spaces commands under the Edit menu. These new commands will change each group of multiple blank spaces (from selected text of the whole document) to a single space or tab character. What's New in version 2.02? =========================== Bug fixes: ---------- * Backup files did not reflect the name of the original copy. Problem fixed. * When printing several pages, page numbers, headers and footers did not appear on the last page. Problem fixed. * Several other minor bugs also fixed. Changes: -------- * The Line functions now treat a word-wrapped line as a single line. * You can now save files in UNIX format (all carriage return / line-feed pair are converted to LF). To enable this feature for a document, set the Unix Format option in the Document Properties dialog. * Documents now support multiple tab-stop settings and units can be defined in inches, centimeters, or pixels. Each value must be separated by a semi- colon (;). * Clipbook now accepts date/time filters. Use ^[ and ^] to delimit the filter element of the Clipbook text. * Clipbook can now enclose selected text with content of Clipbook item. The code ^& indicates where to place the selected document text. Pasting a Clipbook item with this code in the text will insert the highlighted text at the position of the ^& code instead of overwriting it. This is particularly useful when producing HTML documents. For example, if you have defined a Clipbook item under the title Italic: ^& Selecting a word in your document and then double- clicking on the Italic item in the Clipbook will surround the word with the italic tags: word * On some systems, depending on screen resolution, dialogs boxes may not display correctly (dialog elements don't all fit in the window). If this is the case on your system, add the following line in the program's INI file under the [Options] section: ScaleDialogs=1 I have not tested this option yet, so I am not absolutely sure the dialogs will display better. Feedback on this issue would be much appreciated! What's New in version 2.01a? ============================ Bug fixes: ---------- * After printing one line, the previous update displayed a GPF message and aborted the print job. This bug has now been fixed. Changes: -------- * When you open the Find and Replace dialog boxes, selected text up to 255 characters long will be placed in the Find field. Before, the limit was 200 characters. * The Colors dialog box now also displays the Define Custom Colors section. What's New in version 2.01? =========================== Bug fixes: ---------- * This update fixes the faulty search message that was displayed in Super NoteTab version 2.0. You can now also search backwards; * Several faults in the print procedure have been fixed; * the Favorites dialog box now lets you edit the list correctly; * a double-click on the Clipbook pastes an item in the editor and leaves the focus in the document; * When the program was configured to use the registry, invoking the browser would execute a new copy each time instead of using the open copy. This has now been fixed. Changes: -------- * Mini Notepad has been renamed Mini NoteTab to better indentify its link with Super NoteTab; * dialog boxes have been resized to accomodate displays using large fonts; * the Document Selector now indicates the number of open documents; * the tool bar now has a word wrap button; * the Find and replace dialogs now automatically convert special characters in pasted text to their respective search tokens. Dialogs can now be resized horizontally; * more information has been added to the help file; * three new commands have been added under the Edit|Lines menu: - "Join Lines" converts multiple lines into a single one; - "Split Lines" converts a word wrapped line (or lines larger than the editor window into multiple lines. - "Adjust Line Breaks" is useful for adjusting all line breaks in the selected text or document to true CR/LF sequences. The command changes any CR characters not followed by a LF and any LF characters not preceded by a CR into CR/LF pairs. It also converts LF/CR pairs to CR/LF pairs. The LF/CR pair is common in Unix text files. What's New in version 2.0? ========================== Many features have been significantly improved and new ones added. The most original and useful is the Clipbook window (you'll find the command under the Tools menu). The editor is now web enabled, which means it can tell a browser to open a link or one of its documents. Printing works much better and a new dialog box lets you configure the size of margins, headers, footers, etc. A number of bugs that were discovered in the earlier versions have been fixed. You will find more details on these new features in the help file. As a result of the many changes made to the program, most settings that were saved by earlier versions are not restored by this new version. As a result, you will have to reset your program preferences and document properties. Another important change is that Favorite Files lists must now be stored in the same folder (directory) as the program and have the extension FVR. If something didn't work in an earlier version, it probably does now. If not, please contact me and give me the details of the problem. Hope you'll find these new features useful! --Eric Fookes
