On the options you have one called "Hide distance" it's the distance in pixels from the hint to the mouse position where the hint will hide. The minimum it's 50 pixels and it cannot be changed, if you move less than 50 pixels the hint doesn't dissappear. This distance it's more than the separation on pixels of one message to other. The solution it's Ritlabs should allow us to put less than 50 pixels on the option. -- /\/ Using The Bat! 5.0.0.101 ALPHA Professional / \ / \ / Windows XP (5.1.2600 Service Pack 3) /\/ e t \/ i c i o u s Plugins: AntiSpamSniper 3.2.5.1 and miniRelayPlug 0.05.50 Spanish Translator of The Bat!

Re: 5.0.0.99
Hello all. Now i am testing current alpha (5.0.0.101) and now i have some notes about hints: 1. On the beginning - you must provide a interface to configure each class of hints, because it can be sometimes very irritate, the current global configuration is too simple 2. Still the hints are not enough sensitive, when i move mouse position to another item when current hint is visible, hint no change. Anyway, i think that current hints design is effect of lack idea about good interface design. Why i think in this way - because information in hints duplicate information from other parts of interface. For example: * hint over subject shows image of message - this is a worse duplicate of Auto-view. Why worse - because sometimes message is readable (short), sometimes not (long message). For typical not so short messages the hint is not readable and, in this case, is this hint for ? * hint over sender, receiver - copy of context menu in message view when you use RPM over line From, or To * hint over folder in folder tree - copy of Properties window. In my opinion, the better solution will be when context-menu will be more context sensitive, for example context menu in message list should be different in each column: different for column with addresses, different for column with attachments, different for column with Subject. Next, will be good when menu auto hide rare used items. Third, user should have tool for adjustment context menu for each class/group. As the effect the interface will be cleaner and still useful. Bottomline: please move hints functionality to more context sensitive context menu and will be OK! -- G_K (SpamoĊap) Current beta is 4.2.33.9 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Re: 5.0.0.99
So glad to see development being pushed out to us Beta users again.
I've noticed an inconsistency with the way messages are displayed. In the
Folder View Mode I've got "Expand All Threads" and "Group By Date" selected in
the view mode. However sometimes when I move to another folder and then back
they will not be expanded. Then at other times they will be expanded.
THanks,
Art

5.0.0.99
We are releasing the first alpha version to TBBETA list. This alpha is
still not stable or reliable as our previous alphas, so use it with
caution, you can experience bugs or even lose mail.
The Bat! 5.0.0.99 ALPHA is available at
http://www.ritlabs.com/download/files3/the_bat/a-5/tb50099.rar
What's new in 5.0.0.99 alpha since 5.0.0.98 alpha:
[-] Advanced Search was not working correctly on IMAP folders (Beta issue)
[-] IMAP search for text with non-ASCII characters was not working correctly
(Beta issue)
[*] The "view mode changed" exit confirmation is now not displayed when only
sorting order or column widths have changed, in this case the changes in
sorting and widths are discarded.
[*] The about box is simplified
[-] (#0008151) 5.0.0.x Alpha Two hints in Message Editor (BETA issue)
[-] Some HTML hints were improperly displayed (BETA issue)
What's new in 5.0.0.99 alpha since v4.2.36.4:
Major Changes (not a complete list yet)
===
[!] The Bat! uses "Intel Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) Instructions Set"
to improve the speed of AES algorithm, that is used in TLS and S/MIME. Intel
AES instructions are a new set of instructions available beginning with the all
new 2010 Intel Core processor family based on the 32nm Intel micro-architecture
codename Westmere. To test whether your CPU supports the new instruction set,
run The Bat! with /AES_BENCHMARK command line parameter, which must be the
single command line parameter, and it must be case-sensitive. It will also show
the performance difference between the old and new instructions.
[!] Instant Counters: The Bat! displays the number of messages in accounts and
folders immediately upon startup
[!] Faster startup time for multi-core processors.
[!] Increased speed of The Bat! start-up. The Bat! now performs time-consuming
startup routines (like loading of plug-ins, parsing of interface definition
files) in parallel. The performance boost is noticeable on old single-core
CPUs, because disk and processor operations now run simultaneously. On
multi-core CPUs and multiprocessor systems the boost is even higher because
processor operations are combined. Besides that, we've done optimizations in
slower parts of code by implementing fast algorithms, which increases speed
regardless of number of CPUs or cores, by 0.5 to 4 seconds, depending on
processor speed.
