Das ist neu in dieser Version (Originalangaben des Herstellers): Changed installer software, and stopped shipping 50COMCTL.EXE update in the distribution package to save on download size (it's very rarely needed, and is available as a separate download where necessary). New internal assembler-optimized memory management is in place, handling the most basic memory allocation all around the program. Some memory intensive operations resulted in a notable speed boost. Plugins for importing descriptions and thumbnails can now be run manually as well, on request and for selected set of cataloged items only. This allows much better manual control on which files to process than with scanning the media. A new plugin type is introduced, intended for interactive, non-automatic plugins that can't do their job without some feedback from the user. These plugins are available for manual running only, and they are directly available as separate menu options for items they apply to. For example, such plugins could be some sort of specialized description editors that can work with the user to prepare data to be imported. Their primary task, though, is to allow for importing of data that can not be imported automatically, without some sort of assistance or input from the user. New plugins support importing both descriptions and thumbnails. The internal viewer has been considerably improved. It now allows for switching viewed files (previous/next file) directly from the viewer, and has support for optionally skipping unavailable files. Viewed images can be resized to fit in window, and can be viewed with optionally predefined brightness/contrast/gamma adjustment. Text files have a switch available for showing them as DOS or Windows text (switching code page used). Viewed files can now be launched in the associated application from the internal viewer. Added a new diagnostic tool, analyzing the structure of catalog file and indicating how much space each disk image or folder take in the catalog file. You can use this tool to help you optimize catalog size, find which parts of the catalog are hogging most of the space and locate them in the main window, there you can remove unnecessary thumbnails, long descriptions, contents of archive files etc. New feature added for tracking disk lending and borrowing. Each disk image in catalog can now be equipped with indicator whether it is available, lent out, borrowed from someone, or not available altogether (i.e. damaged). All three states include optional one-line comment, while lending and borrowing information can also indicate the name and date of the person disk was lent to or borrowed from. Disk status is indicated when browsing catalog in a form of additional overlay status icon displayed over the disk's icon, while details appear in the disk's popup hint along with its description. New data comparing capabilities, allowing to compare files in selected groups of cataloged disks and folders. Compare results include list of files unique to each group, file that are the same in both groups, and files that have the same name but are otherwise different, possibly changed. Comparing cataloged data is particularly useful for comparing disk images of the same media to track changes. Advanced searching now includes a new criteria for searching by disk's lending and borrowing information, including disk's state, name and date of person lent to or borrowed from, and associated comments. Added support for catalog group files (.ctg), simple text files combining one or more catalog files or other catalog groups into a selected group. This allows for easier one-step loading of predefined groups of catalog files for users with lots of catalogs. A new catalog group editor with preview and catalog details is built-in the program. Added new Report Generator Wizard. Intended mostly for novice users, this wizard provides a way to prepare the data for some of the most commonly used report types. While it offers nothing that couldn't be done before, it simplifies preparing some predefined report types and teaches users how to get the same result on their own. Report Generator now supports custom-sized icons and thumbnails (definable separately) in printed reports, or in print preview. You can simply define how much space (mm/inches/pixels) icons and thumbnails should take on paper. Entirely rewritten HTML exporting in Report Generator. Exported HTML files are now based on templates, through which the layout and styling of the generated HTML pages can be customized. Thumbnails and icons can optionally be a part of generated HTML page, exported as JPEG and GIF files, and page indexes can be included in templates for multi-page HTML files. Additional files such as graphics or CSS definitions can be linked from templates and copied along exported HTML data, too. A few predefined custom templates are included. Added an option in report generator settings to limit the allowed number of description text lines when printing or exporting reports. Changed report generator settings dialog, printer and paper-related settings were moved to a separate dialog. Added a new option in the Add/Update disk image dialog, to automatically save the catalog after scanning media completes. Added Flags and Disk Location columns to most item lists, adjusted names of a few columns for better clarity and consistence between different lists, and tweaked a few other related details, like the default order and state of columns on individual lists. All new columns are now available for the report generator as well. Due to these changes, columns order and state will be reset to default if upgrading from previous versions. File management operations like moving and copying files now allow for inserting of needed disks in any order. For example, if copying 5 files from 5 different CDs, the program will no longer demand one of the needed CDs to be inserted, but will list all five and proceed with whichever becomes available first. Added Back and Forward browsing buttons in the main window, keeping track of browsing history. Catalog files (.ctf) on local disks known to be unavailable or deleted are now displayed as grayed on "most recently used" catalogs lists, like in the File menu or Open button's menu. Included support for submitting DGENRE and DYEAR information to the freedb database. Improved themed user interface support, especially for the WinXP users using new XP style. Checkboxes in all lists and treeview are now displayed with theme-compatible check marks instead of default, painting buttons has been adjusted for better support for other third-party themes etc. Easier plugins management. All lists of plugins now support multi-selection, and allow for related operations like checking/unchecking and changing priority to be done for multiple plugins at once. The Launch File command was extended to support manually selecting the application used to run the selected file with. If holding down Shift, "Launch File" command becomes "Launch File with...", which lets you select the application to be used instead of the default associated program. Note that the standard Windows dialogs and methods are used for selecting application to be used for launching file, and implementations may differ between different versions of Windows. All language files now default to the system default font. The typeface and size of this system default font is determined in run-time for each specific system instead of using predefined settings. This makes sure WhereIsIt's dialogs have the same default appearance as all other Windows applications, regardless of screen DPI settings and video drivers. A new file name matching option was added to searching for duplicates, allowing for files to optionally differ in file extensions yet still pass the same filename criteria (i.e. Readme.txt" and "Readme.bak"). Advanced searching was extended with a new criteria for searching by thumbnails. It is now possible to search for items with or without thumbnails, or for items with thumbnails of certain size. The Compare Files to Catalog function now supports searching for matching items inside cataloged archive files (of course, only if their contents is available in catalog). You can now assign a disk picture from clipboard as well as from file. Optimized processing of certain combinations of compressed archive files and options used while scanning disk. For example, processing large solid archives while importing descriptions only and not cataloging archive contents is now a lot faster. The separator character for CSV exports in report generator is now user- definable (the default remains to be semi column, as used by Excel and other related applications. Some prefer comma though). Updating disk images now allows for files in catalog to keep their existing descriptions, categories and thumbnails if their name and CRC did not change. If CRC is not available in catalog, or is not set to be calculated during media scan, files must still have the same name, size and date/time stamp to keep their cataloged properties, as before. Added a new option in program's settings regarding the scope of browsing through available network resources. The program now defaults to listing connected resources only, i.e. mapped network drives instead of trying to find everything available on the network. The latter mode of operation is still available, but can cause long delays when Windows tries to find and enumerate available computers, shared drives and printers etc. Scanning report for the Update All Disk Images command now includes some additional details. Added recognition support and separate drive icon for DVD media. System default drive icons are now used instead of custom ones for drives like Zip, Jaz, and DVD drives, when running on Windows XP. Charset handling for custom fonts is now more flexible, allowing users to have more control when working with international fonts. JPEG thumbnails plugin was updated to support some of the newer JPG files. Removed support for importing Floppy Master databases. This has been obsolete for a long time now. A LOT of other minor changes, improvements, adjustments,... Download der Betaversion:
