Sent: Monday, January 14, 2008 7:01 Subject: EdSharp 2.5 and FileDir 3.1 released
2008 brings new improvements to EdSharp and FileDir. They are more solid, capable, and compatible. Jamal http://www.EmpowermentZone.com/edsetup.exe EdSharp Version 2.5 Released January 14, 2008 Fixed the paste command (Control+V) stripping hard returns at the end of clipboard text. Fixed EdSharp not always being activated when an associated file is opened via Windows Explorer (or FileDir). Also made EdSharp activate more quickly when a new file is opened in this way. Fine tuned the JAWS configuration so that "not selected" messages do not erroneously occur when navigating a listbox. Also improved the speaking of special Unicode characters when reading continuously with SayAll (JAWSKey+DownArrow). The JAWS script to toggle speech between all and no punctuation (JAWSKey+GraveAccent) now works with any speech synthesizer, not just Eloquence. Fixed the import option for .tex files (LaTeX format). Stopped the import options dialog from appearing if only one target format is available. Made EdSharp notify you of the item number when it activates a list-based dialog and restores focus to an item other than the initial one. As before, Alt+Backslash opens Windows Explorer in the directory containing the current file, or Control+Backslash opens a command prompt there. Besides the current folder, the intervening dialog lets you open the EdSharp program folder, data folder, or snippet folder. An additional button now lets you create a new folder on disk. As before, the Transform Files command (Alt+Equals) applies a saved set of search and replace tasks to one or more files. A new intervening dialog lets you test what changes would occur without actually performing them. In either case, you can subsequently use the Review Output command (Alt+Shift+F5) to examine the change log. A log may similarly be reviewed after the Text Convert or Text Combine command (Control+T or Control+Shift+T). Added the Special Character command (F2), which prompts for a character to insert based on its numeric value in the Unicode character set. The number should have four hex digits (base 16). This command is useful for inputting a character that does not have a corresponding keystroke. You can specify a decimal (base 10) number instead by preceding it with the letter d. For example, the ellipses symbol ( a single character for ...) may be specified either in hex as 2026 or in decimal as d8230. ---------- http://www.EmpowermentZone.com/dirsetup.exe FileDir Version 3.1 Released January 14, 2008 Fixed conversions to text not working due to an inconsistent location for the temp file. Fixed the Manual Options command (Alt+Shift+M) not finding the configuration file (FileDir.ini). As before, Control+Shift+M initiates a mail message with tagged files as attachments. If no items are tagged, FileDir now both attaches the current file and includes its text in the message body. As before, Control+Shift+P copies the full paths of all items below a subfolder item in the directory hierarchy. As an enhancement, after determining what file extensions are present, FileDir prompts for which ones to include in the resulting list. Strengthened the Web Download command (Alt+Shift+W) so that it works like the one in EdSharp. Many hot keys are available for navigating and choosing files to download. Target names on disk are made unique in case different links end similarly, e.g., with default.htm. Duplicate files may subsequently be identified and deleted with the Tag Duplicate Files command (Alt+Shift+Period). This command runs much faster than before. Other list-based dialogs enhance navigation like Web Download, e.g., Open Drive (Alt+O) and Alternate Menu (Alt+F10). New commands include the following. Control+Shift+I renames files to the initial line of text inside them (if found), which is often a convenient way of making the name of a file the same as the title of the document inside (e.g., useful after downloading files with cryptic names). Control+Shift+Period tags files that match a regular expression you specify. FileDir now supports the concept of a "virtual folder" that does not exist as a physical directory on disk. A virtual folder is defined by a path list in a text file. It contains the full paths of files or folders, not necessarily in a single directory, but in any directory and on any drive. You can create such a file in a text editor, or with the help of FileDir commands like Path List, Control+Shift+P, and Export Clipboard, Alt+Shift+E. Press Alt+Shift+O to open a virtual folder definition in a new window, or Alt+Shift+G to go to it in the same window. In general, you can then process its items as if they were in the same directory. __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
